Portuguese Beans/Feijao a Portuguesa image

This recipe is from Leite's Culinaria. I have made these several times and enjoyed them. Do not use Mexican Chorizo. Chourice may be bought online@ www.linguicia.com or Gaspars.com; you may do this recipe in a crockpot also, placing on low for several hours until beans are tender.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The beans were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. I especially loved the addition of the chorizo and the bell peppers.
