Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can substitute linguica sausage with other types of sausage such as chorizo, kielbasa, or even a smoked sausage. Keep in mind that different sausages may have varying flavors and spice levels, so adjust seasonings as needed.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, add a splash of water or broth to the rice to prevent it from drying out and warm it on the stove or in the microwave.
If your rice is undercooked after 15-20 minutes, add a little more water (around 1/4 cup) and continue cooking on low heat, covered, for another 5-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
