Linguica, a Portuguese sausage, is sliced and sauteed with chunks of potato and onion for a flavorful side dish...or main, if you like! My Mom used to make this often, either stovetop or wrapped in foil and tossed on the grill. Read more These days you can find turkey linguica for less fat, but there will be less drippings on the potatoes so I sometimes add some paprika for color, as regular linguica dripping will turn the potatoes somewhat orange.

Well, howdy neighbor! ;) You probably could use chorizo - especially in this area we usually don't see the Mexican Chorizo, which is different than the Spanish/Portuguese. I mean, it would be a different dish, but still tasty!

This sounds so incredibly comforting...Do you think chorizo would work?

I never knew you were from MA....I live in Marlborough...My son goes to Quinsigamond and manages the Papa Johns in Worcester...

Thanks for commenting jlv1023! I'll check and see if there's a place around here that might sell it online - I thought I saw something once. When I moved to central MA, I couldn't even find any at first, but this past year I've seen it everywhere - even in regular grocery stores. I can't really think of a good sub, though! I'll let you know if I can find a good source for you ;)

Thanks Rhianna! Actually we're not Portuguese at all but used to spend our summers in and around New Bedford, MA where there are a lot of Portuguese, so we love the food, music, people...I almost married one! ;)

Love linguica, but out here in the Midwest, they have no clue what this is. Being from Connecticut I miss going to the Portuguese markets, any suggestions for substitute or where on line I can find i t?

So great to see an authentic Portuguese recipe! Is your family Portuguese, Christine? I'll try this when I next have linguiça. Thanks!

Pronunciation tip for those who don't know Portuguese (the c actually has a cedilla - ç - underneath, making the c sound soft like an "s":

Linguiça = leen-GWEE-sah

FOIL PACKET INSTRUCTIONS: Spray foil with cooking spray and wrap ingredients, using just a drizzle of oil, in foil packets. Cook on grill for about 20 minutes or in the oven at 350 degrees, until potatoes are tender.
