Linguica

Store uncooked linguica in its original packaging or wrapped tightly in the refrigerator. Once cooked, store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.

Score the casing before cooking to prevent it from bursting.

For a deeper flavor, consider grilling or smoking linguica.

Pair linguica with robust flavors like onions, peppers, beans, and potatoes.

Peppers (bell peppers, chili peppers)

Potatoes

Beans (cannellini, black beans)

Rice

Tomatoes
