Hi Anne,

I think Chourico would be good in this recipe; no other adjustments would be needed. Chourico doesn't seem to be available everywhere, which is probably why the author called for kielbasa.

Suggestion... Linguica. Polish Sausage is never acceptable in Potagee cuisine. :)

This recipe was easy to make and delicious. I used Italian sausage since that's what I had available. My husband told me this one was one to keep in our recipe book.
