Portuguese Chourico

Recently on a cold snowy day I decided to make a 'HOT' Portuguese sandwich of Chourico with Peppers and Onions.


The picture below lists the ingredients that make up Chourico.
I purchased the ground Chourico at my local supermarket. Chourico is also sold in links by many other companies here in New England. I decided to try the ground sausage for a change and ease of use.

  • 1 Pkg of Chourico (either ground or link style)
  • 1 LGreen Pepper Diced
  • 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
  • 1 Onion Diced
  • 1/2 C Tomato Sauce
  • 1/4 C Water
  • Hot Pepper Flakes to taste


  • Brown Chourico in saucepan


  • Add all the rest to browned Chourico
  • Cover lower heat and simmer till peppers and onions are tender (about 20 mins on medium low heat)
Serve hot on any type roll you'd like.  Add a little Port Wine and ENJOY!!
