A few days ago when I was going thru old recipes for salsa/taco sauce for Linda, I ran across a stack of old, old recipes I used to make. This is one of them - and I just made a batch and put in the freezer, I haven't made them for a long time, but oh they are so good!

PORTUGUESE BEANS
This was the very first recipe given to me as a 'married woman'!! Margarite Machado, January 1959 - I love these beans!!
approximately 2 cups pinto beans, soaked overnight or quick soaking (bring to boil, turn off heat, cover and let sit 1 hour)
1 ring of Linguica, sliced in 1/2" slices and render the fat out
1 large onion, chopped
1 bell pepper or poblano, chopped
28 ounces tomatoes, undrained
2 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
Water - enough to make the soup consistency you like
1 teaspoon cumin powder
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and pepper (add the salt when the beans are almost tender)
After the linguica has been rendered, add all the ingredient to a large soup pot and cook until the beans are tender.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
