This recipe can be made in a crockpot or a dutch oven, but the key is the longer it cooks the better.
Chourico & Peppers
2 lbs. of chourico ( we like to use Mello's hot chourico-gives it an amazing kick ) cubed
2 green peppers cubed
2 onions cubed
1 14oz can of diced tomatoes with the liquid
2 cans of tomato paste
3/4 cup of red wine ( we always use Casal Garcia! )
Salt to taste
Brown your chourico, peppers, and onions together. Once they have cooked a little (not all the way, you just want a browning to them for flavor) Add all the ingredients except the salt. Mix together and let it sit in the crockpot on low for about 6 hours, or on low-med heat in your dutch oven for about 3 hours. Once it's just about done, add salt to taste. You can serve this in a roll, as shown, or over rice or pasta!
You can really adjust this recipe anyway you want. Want it to have more liquid? Try adding some tomato sauce or more red wine. Want more veggies? Add some red and orange peppers as well.

ReplyDeleteTry some chicken ... Browned and added 2lbs of thighs as last ingredient; really good!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks delicious. It brings back mouth watering thoughts of my grandmothers Portuguese cooking. Linguica & bellpeppers was a favorite of mine. Along with a soup she would make, which I will try my best to spell, Ahsudra ( Ah- sude- rah ) It was so good and it was always on her stove in a big pot. Everyone of the adults used it to cure their hangovers, I don't drink any longer, but I'd sure like to find someone that knows the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThe last post that I see on here is from 2015, so i'm not even sure if this page is still monitored. As it says on the top right, that you want to bring it back, I say, do it!!!
I'd love to try some of your old world Portuguese recipes...
Me too. My mother use to make pork chops and potatoes that were sliced into small rounds with onions on top of the pork chops also and baked in the oven. She never taught me anything because we were sent outside to play all the time but I remember seeing her opening the can of tomatoe sauce and I saw a glass with water in it but I don’t know how much of anything that she used. She passed away in 1971 and so many times I wished I knew how to make that recipe along with the way she made the roast chicken with chourico in the pan with the chicken. I remember tomatoe sauce went into that recipe also and how I wish she was here with me to show me how she made that. I thank the good Lord I was able to find a rice pudding recipe that tasted just like hers because I did not have to stand up at the stove for about an hour stirring it like she did. The recipe I have is for the Instant Pot that someone ( I don’t remember who it was) was nice enough to post on line and I took the chance to make it and I was like a child so happy after I tasted it. She was the best mother in this world and I miss her so much.
