Not quite sure why I like this one so much. Could it be my German heritage? Hmmm, not sure, but it is very tasty!
Cut sausage into chunks. Brown in electric skillet; remove from skillet. Layer sauerkraut, onion slices, potato halves and apple wedges in skillet. Place sausage chunks into mixture. Drizzle apple juice over top. Simmer, covered, at 220-240 degrees F for 45 minutes or until apples and potatoes are tender but firm.

Hi Bev,
My Portuguese family made a very simple spaghetti sauce using either Linguica or Chourico. Both made by Gaspar's. I prefer the Chourico because it is a little spicer and has more flavor. But here it is.
1 pkg Linguica or Chourico
2 8oz cans tomato paste
3 16oz cans tomato sauce
Peel skin off of meat and cut into very small pieces into dutch oven. Put enough water to cover meat and still have enough to boil for about 15-20 min. Add tomato sauce and paste. Simmer for 45-50 min. Serve over spaghetti. You can adjust your tomato sauce and paste for varying thickness. Just depends on how you like it. Serves about 4 hungary people with some garlic bread.
The Kale soup recipe by nbmeme is also excellent. Give it a try.
By the way, my family is from Fall River. Not too far from New Bedford. We are transplants to Fla for many years now.
Bev,
I forgot to mention you can go to Gaspar's website www.gasparssausage.com. and they have alot of recipes using their sausage. Hope this helps.
I was brought up with portugese cooking. Kale soup with linguica is very good however we always had linguica sandwiches with peppers & onions. I add cheese as well.

Does anyone know the Special bread that it was made from Liquiica, protusccio, eggs that called Falva bread for Easter at Portugal Time. The bakery has it but how to make those bread? lisa H.
I am looking for a recipe that includes linquica and cheese , baked in a flaky bread dough to make a delicious Linquica cheese roll. After baking, it is often split in half, spread with butter and grilled to a golden brown. The bread is soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Using store bought frozen dough will not cut it. I hope someone knows how to make these delicious breakfast treats.
