This jackfruit feijoada recipe was specifically made for the Rio Carnival, 294 years after the first recorded celebration, as it is recognised as the Brazilian national dish. If you struggling to find jackfruit in your local supermarket, it is also readily available online at speciality stores like here http://theasiancookshop.co.uk/green-jackfruit-3527-p.asp or alternatively you could use the more traditional ingredients, beef or pork instead.
