Oh my gosh, I must try this! I bring back frozen Portuguese sausage because every kind that I've found on the mainland just doesn't taste right. Thank you for this recipe! Looking forward to a taste of home. :)

In addition to this recipe, I also discovered some grocery stores sell Silva brand Portuguese Sausage that is alllmost as good as the Hawaii kind :)
