Linguica and Green Beans
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
This recipe is well known to Portuguese families. Linguica is a spicy Portuguese sausage and can be found in specialty markets, some chain markets or online at such places as Gaspars.com. TIP: I like to add 1 large can of crushed tomatoes with puree instead of the tomato sauce. This makes it more like a stew and thicker.

What wonderful flavor. My first time using linguica and it was wonderful. I didn;t know what to expect with spiciness, so I left out the red pepper as I was sharing this with my Father who is not a heat lover. Next time I will add it. I was worried about the allspice but no need to be. My was very liquidy, so I did have to simmer about 30 minutes without the cover to thicken it up. I will be buying linguica just to make this from now on...this dish has a fresh flavor that begs you to eat more.Reply
