Lazy feijoada

I first had feijoada in Brazil a few years ago and have loved it ever since. Thing is, it takes time to make it the traditional way so I've discovered a lazy version.

3 cans of black beans
2 chorizo sausages
300 grams bacon
ham hock (optional)
1 onion
3 teaspoons of garlic
feijoada seasoning  (from online Brazilian food shop...if not then use cumin, oregano and bay)

Fry chorizo and bacon til crispy then add onion and garlic. Add the beans and a cup of water and seasoning.
Simmer for at least 30 mins - the longer the better. Serve with rice and farofa ( dried cassava).
