Brazilian Sausage (Linguiça Toscana)

Meats and Seafood The Flavor of South America

Linguiça Toscana (luhng-gwee-suh) is a typical Brazilian pork sausage with a spicy touch from the malagueta pepper, a very common hot chili pepper in the country. Linguiça Toscana is perfect for the grill, so it’s the traditional sausage for Brazilian BBQ (churrasco).

Tropical Linguiça Toscana is fully cooked, so prepare it on the grill to your liking, roast it in the oven, or pan sauté it in slices to enjoy it as a snack or appetizer.

This Brazilian sausage adds great flavor to popular recipes like the tasty Feijoada, Linguiça Toscana Bean Soup, or Linguiça Toscana Soup with Legumes and Pasta. Linguiça goes well with staple ingredients like beans, potatoes, yuca, rice, and pasta.
