Notes
※There are many variations, including recipes where everything is cooked from the beginning or where chorizo is added at the end.
※Locally, it is made with shredded collard greens (couve galega). However, it is hard to find in my country, so I used kale.
※There are many different sausages in Portugal. Linguica, for example, is often used in this dish.
※In all the recipes I refer to, they used a blender to mash potatoes and other ingredients, but my blender is out of order. That’s why I mashed it.
