Chorizo, is ground and can be made from almost anything (I think) where chourico is made from pork is coarsely chopped.
I was able to get it from a local bakery shop of all places, they have some ethnic cusine common in Portugal and Spain. The shop owner said this was an "americanized" version of what he grew up with but it was good.
It wasn't quite jambalaya but close enough I guess. Not really spicy though.
I have only done this one. I was going to share as I made them and rate them as I did. Don't have them all loaded loaded into my recipe database yet but will soon.
I used two tbsp's of olive oil and did have to add more chicken broth to the mix.
I don't know if you could use the Mexican chorizo as a substitute but probably.
So...do you have any details on these so-called "really delicious recipes" or are you just teasing/tempting us here?
So far I've only tried one. The bread but this is what we are making today. Chourico isn't as hard to get as I had thought.

Welp, tomorow is my B-day. You know those little secret restraunts that only the locals know about? We're going to one of those. They sell the best fried shimp in the universe.
Hmmm. I can't remember the last time I had a Portuguese dish. A few years ago, we had a really good avocado and cream soup from Brazil.
What foodstuffs are indicative of Portuguese cuisine?
Well it's one of the world's largest consumer of seafood per capita so I'm know there are going to be a couple of those recipes in there. He'll email me this weekend he wants to talk to his sister in the states and see what transfers to here nicely, so I guess it'll be Portugese-American food.
I know Portugal is known for Portugese Sweet Bread and he's sending that after that I'm not sure what I'll be getting, hopefully something with Chourico, a smoked sausage, I've watched a couple of programs that used it.
I have a Portugese friend of mine (online buddy) going to share some recipes with me. Depending what I can find in my limited American store I will be dining on Portugese cusine later in the week. Can't wait to try it.
Also, I plan on making pizza again Friday with either the pesto or white sauce.
I can share my lovely pizza sauce recipe if you're interested. Well, I have a few - marinara, crushed tomato, white, and a few variations on pesto. I'd call the tomato sauces more formulas than recipes, bases from which to improvise.
I'd be very interested in a couple of those. The marinara, white, and your favorite pesto.
My wife went to see it on a girls night out and loved it. I had thought we were going to see it together but guess I'll have to wait for the DVD now.
I'm a huge fan of Top Chef. Never miss it via the DVR but other than reality TV (mainly the food shows) I don't watch much else - of course that, in reality, means I watch tons of TV since there are tons of reality shows on, :rolleyes:.
edit: made homemade pizza for dinner tonight, I really need to find a good sauce I can make too, that canned stuff just doesn't cut it. Nect time I make pizza I'm going to make a Chicken Parmesan pizza.
We make banana bread every so often, but I've not tried it with peanut butter before.
Sounds interesting!
(Welcome back, by the way!)
Thanks ~ the recipe is great. It's like eating a little slice of heaven.
On another note how many here watch the foodie shows on TV? Top Chef - Hell's Kitchen - Next Food Netwok Star? I watch all of them but enjoy Top Chef the most, I'm a reality jumkie in general (Thank God for DVR).
Wow, been absent awhile. Bad virus cost me a hard drive.
Anyways I just tried Peanut Butter Banan Bread and it was great. I'm no baker (far from it) but this was easy even for me. Got the recipe from Creative Loafing and it looked easy so I gave it a shot this weekend. It took me about 45ish minutes to get ready with no help from the wife (deliberately) and I was mixing by hand.
Here's the recipe.
Peanut Butter-Banana Bread
(makes 1 large 4″x8″ loaf or 8 mini loaves)
3 ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons (+) softened peanut butter (nuke it in the microwave for 30 seconds)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt (Kosher, if you have it)
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the bananas, peanut butter, and melted butter by hand or with a hand mixer on low speed.
2. Mix in the sugars, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda, salt, and spices over the mixture, then mix to combine.
3. Fold in the flour in 3 parts by hand. Do not over mix.
4. Pour mixture into a buttered loaf pan. If using a 4″x8″ loaf pan, bake for about 1 hour. If using a mini loaf pan, bake for 25-30 minutes. When a toothpick inserted comes out clean, it’s ready to go
It realy doesn't bother me that some cards are getting renamed to better fit the core sets. There are more near reprints than actual new cards it seems which is also fine. Doom Blade is one card that is strictly better than Terror in that it can hit artifact creatures as well.
For those not in the know, my 6 year old daughter died in February. We rushed her to emergency on the morning of Feb 6th when we found her in bed panting. They identified pneumonia and she was dead within 7 hours. We still don't know exactly what happened as test result could take another 3 months. This was long before the swine flu outbreak.
Sorry just doesn't express enough does it, I hope you and your family are adjusting well. I don't know what I would do if I lost one of my boys. I lost my father recently and that was a blow even though expected and he, of course being older.
A child isn't supposed to go 1st, it's just wrong. I'm sure you've heard it many times but truly if there is anything (or I'm sure anyone on here) can do let me know.

My buddy cam through with some really delicious Portugese recipes, including one for Portugese sweet bread which was great.
Happy belated birthday! How was your night out?

maro254@mtgaaron Tiago's card was in ZEN but it didn't work out. He's given us a new card which is going into Lights. I feel bad about the delay.
Has anyone heard what the new card may be?
