Kampot pepper
If you can't find Kampot pepper try frying a tbsp of black pepper corns in the oil, then removing them from the oil... just to transfer some flavour. Then add a tsp of ground white pepper and 1 tsp of ground black pepper with garlic and chilli paste... not quite authentic but close enough ;)

Hot Tips
Cooking feijoada
Feijoada is the national dish of Brazil. When the feijoada is nearly ready be careful not to use a fork or spoon (or in fact any utensils) in the dish, this is said to spoil the flavour and turn the dish sour. If you do need to add water while it is cooking, make sure it is boiling.
