Portuguese green beans and linguica

Zydeco is a term synonymous with Louisiana Cajun culture. It comes from the rapid pronunciation of the French word for beans: les haricots, in which the "z" sound of the final "s" les is elided into the next word or haricots.

This is a page from the Grandmother's Unwritten Cookbook. Readers you will be tasting my heritage and genuine spirit in this dish. When preparing it, I thought about how different it is when looking at my normal "Comfort Food" Dishes.

Portuguese Kale Soup is so much more than just greens or kale! Portuguese smoked sausages, such as chouriço or linguiça, are used as the meaty base, with beans added as well as potatoes, making for an incredibly hearty and nourishing soup. If you can’t get your hands on Portuguese sausages, you can easily use a Spanish chorizo, Kielbasa, or another smoked sausage of your choice. You'll love the little bit of tangy apple cider vinegar added at the end!
