Portuguese Black Bean Stew, (sometimes called Negro-Linguiça)is a rich and thick sausage and black bean stew. It is a stew traditionally served in summer, despite being having a little heat. The stew includes thick bacon and Linguiça. (a sweet, lightly spiced Portuguese sausage consisting of finely ground pork butt and/or tongue.) This dish is also heavy on the paprika and cilantro. The dish is both rich and fresh tasting. SO YUM!

  • 5
    Take pot out of boil and add black beans. Stir to completely incorporate.
  • 6
    Add flour and stir vigorously to thicken pot. Use beef broth if you accidentally overly thicken the pot to thin it back out. DO NOT overly flour the pot or it will taste like raw flour. If you have to thin it back out, be careful and do not even think about adding more flour!!!
