Where to find ingredients

Sausages like chouriço (pork sausage) and blood sausage are often available in specialty European or Latin American markets, or sometimes in the international foods aisle of larger supermarkets. Farinheira can be harder to find and may require a dedicated Portuguese or Spanish food store. Fresh vegetables like cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and turnips are widely available in the produce section of supermarkets and at local farmers' markets. Rice is a pantry staple found in any supermarket. Salt is also a common supermarket item.
