I'm 100% Portuguese and I have to say that this is a pretty solid recipe for good old-fashioned chourico and peppers. -
Holy Cow! As another reviewer had said, The aroma in the house is awesome! We enjoyed this, DH had two helping (and we had large first helpings) and really enjoyed this. I will make this again for one of those crockpot meals for days I run errands. Thank you for posting. I had never had Portuguese chourico and am so glad we tried it, very flavorful and yummy. -
So glad I tried this recipe. Have been looking for a good Chourico and Pepper recipe for a long time. Quick and easy to make and absolutely delicious and it makes the house smell soooo good when it's cooking!!

My name is Star and I am originally from Rhode Island. I have been married for 20 years to my wonderful husband, Phil. We live in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern CA. I love cooking, eating a variety of foods and drinking wine (in moderation , of course)! There's nothing better than a wonderful meal! In Northern CA there is an abundance of fresh ingredients year round as well as wonderful wines! We have been fortunate enough to travel and experience wonderful cuisine, but I miss all the ethnic foods I grew up with. I love to cook and try new recipes.
Being the daughter of 2 caterers, food has always been a big part of my families' life. Some of the best memories I have are of family gatherings around the kitchen table or counter. The kitchen was and truly is the "heart of the home"!
Back East we enjoy food for passings, celebrations, comfort or everyday life. Menus are varied according to the holidays at hand. Portuguese for Labor Day, Italian for St. Joseph's Day, Irish for St. Patrick's Day, Polish for Easter and the list goes on. Tradition has deep roots in the East and "Food: "is" The Way To Everyone's Heart"!
