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 spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The beans were overcooked and mushy, and the sauce was way too spicy. I had to throw the whole thing out.

I wasn't too impressed with this recipe. The beans were a bit bland, and the sauce was too thin. I probably won't be making this again.
