    Very hearty meal, the portuguese rolls are a must. They help sop up all the great stew.

    Was looking for something different and this hit the spot! Great b/c loaded with different veggies & very yummy. The chorizo gives it a kick that's even better when rewarmed.

    This was fabulous, even with a few slight modifications. I used sweet Italian chicken sausage which I browned & removed from the pan. I doubled up on nearly all of the veggies, using 2 small potatoes [diced fairly small], 2 carrots, 1 lg. green bell pepper and added a diced celery stalk. I sauteed everything, added a tsp. or so of red pepper flakes, let it simmer for a bit then added a hefty pound or so of 1-2" chunks of firm-fleshed white fish which simmered for about 5 minutes before being cooked through. This would be great done with any seafood, I think. Served with some good bread and a salad and everybody loved it!
