Linguiça is a traditional Portuguese sausage that works well as a flavourful addition to beef-based stews as well as egg and fish dishes. It's also an excellent breakfast sausage in its own right.

Ingredients:

2.25kg boneless pork rump
8 garlic cloves, finely minced
4 tbsp sweet paprika
3 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp ground coriander seeds
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 tsp ground allspice
60ml sweet sherry
60ml vinegar (sherry is best)
60ml water
sausage casings (optional)
smoker (optional)

Method:

Cut the pork meat into cubes then grind coarsely. Transfer to a bowl then combine with all the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly with your hands then cover and refrigerate for 48 hours. Use the mixture either to fill sausage casings, or use your hands to create loose patties. These are best smoked and then frozen. If you don't have a smoker then see the article on making a home-made hot smoker for ideas on how to simply create your own smoker.

Of course, you do not have to smoke the sausage and you can freeze them directly.

The simplest dish you can make is a breakfast of linguica sausage sliced into 5cm lengths and fried which is served with scrambled eggs flavoured with a little paprika.
