Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the chouriço sausage with another type of sausage?
Yes, you can substitute chouriço with other types of smoky sausages like andouille or kielbasa, or even use a spicy Italian sausage for a different flavor profile.
How should I store any leftovers from this dish?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the beans for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.
What should I do if the beans are still hard after cooking?
If the beans are still hard after the initial cooking, you can continue to simmer them in the pot with more water until they become tender. Make sure not to add salt until the beans are fully cooked, as this can harden them.
