We had an exchange student from Brazil who loved to cook and introduced us to this version of Brazil's national dish! This version uses less fatty cuts of meat than traditional. You can sub another kind of sausage if desired. Serve with braised spinach, collard greens or kale. While collard greens are the most authentically Brazilian, they are not always easy to find!
