This is delicious on a sandwich or used as a spread on sliced bread or a bun. I save the broth from cooking the chouriço to make soup.

I add a package of Goya seasoning that rounds it out great!

Add 1/4 cup sofrito to the marinade. Too much lard! Just enough to coat the pan. I make this in a cataplana I brought home from Lisbon.
