This recipe is from David Leite of Leite's Culinaria. My family and I love it so much. Wonderfully spicy. Beans need to soak overnight.

The stew was good, but I think it could have used more vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery and it really improved the flavor.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

This stew was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chorizo or maybe a milder type of sausage.
