Cheese balls and Easy Feijoada

Ok, I admit I didn't make these.  My friend Dri from Brazil made these.  There is secret flour in this that is very hard to find.  It is made from yucca.  They are very delicious!

I didn't have 6 hours after work to make this the correct way for a dinner party that started in 1 hour.  So this is a quicker adaption of a recipe from simplyrecipes.com  Brown 1 pound of cubed pork shoulder.  Remove from pan.  Slice 2 italian sausage and brown in the same pan.  Remove.  Saute 2 chopped onions.  Add 1 head of garlic, minced.  Saute.  Add to the pan some chopped beef jerky (the flat kind.  of course the recipe doesn't call for beef jerky, it calls for carne seca which I have yet to find in town.)  Saute for a minute.  Add 3/4 pound sliced smoked sausage and one smoked ham hock.  Put the browned meat back in the pan, along with 4 bay leaves.  Add 1 can of tomatoes and a cup or so of water. Salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until meat is tender and falling off of the bone.  We simmered for about 3 hours.  Here's where we cheated.  We rinsed 4 cans of black beans and added to the meat.  Cook for another 1/2 hour.  Serve with rice.  Tasty.
