How to Make Linguica And Green Beans

  1. Sauté 1 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, in 1-2 tablespoons olive oil until onions are translucent and softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 1 lb. potatoes, peeled and cubed, 1 lb. linguica sausage, sliced, and 1 lb. trimmed green beans to the pot.
  3. Pour in enough water or chicken broth to cover the ingredients completely (about 3 cups).
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon allspice, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes (or 2 cups tomato sauce), 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60-70 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the green beans are crisp-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving. Enjoy!
