Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguica sausage
- 2 medium yellow onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Slice the linguica sausage into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moon shapes.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced linguica sausage in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and slightly crispy. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and caramelize to a golden brown color.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the cooked linguica sausage to the skillet, tossing with the onions and garlic. Lower the heat to medium-low.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and give it a final toss.
Serve warm as a side dish, or pair with rice, potatoes, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
