Portuguese ( Portagee)Beans

Pre-cook beans for at least one hour. Save the water you cooked the beans in.

3-- packages of Linguica
2-- Lbs of pink dry beans
1-- med. yellow onion
6-- garlic cloves or 2 tsp of crushed garlic
1 and 1/2 tbs. of allspice
2 and 1/2 tbs. of cumin
1-- large can of peeled and diced tomatoes
1-- small can of tomato sauce
1/4-- cup of bacon grease ( Emeril will love this)


Chop or press garlic if needed, chop onion, saute this in the bacon grease. Slice the linguica, fry the linguica until " greasy" not in the same pan with the onion and garlic. Add the onion/garlic mixture and seasonings to the linguica. Add 3 cups of the bean water and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, and tomato sauce cook until done.
