PORTUGUESE LASAGNA
This recipe gets its Portuguese twist from milho (cornmeal), which is used on the Madeira Islands off Portugal in place of a starch. H. Vern Pereira says he used to eat it topped with a meat sauce. He experimented to turn that combination into lasagna, arriving at this tasty version. From Cooking Club of America.

[email protected]I had some trouble finding chourico sausage, so I used Italian sausage instead. It turned out fine, but I think the chourico would have been better.

[email protected]This lasagna was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought sauce. I'll try making my own sauce next time.
