There are as many recipes for jagacida as there are Portuguese families. But rice, Portuguese sausage and beans are the staples.
Dad prefers kielbasa to linguica or chourico, and his favorite legumes are green peas and limas. I bought frozen vegs, nuked them, and added what I needed.
This stuff is easy and delicious! Dad will be pleased!

Portuguese Jag Recipe
8 ounces of bacon, diced (or bacon fat)
1 large onion, diced
8 ounces of linguica, skinned and diced (I used beef kielbasa, diced)
2 1/2 cups hot water
1 cup rice
1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked)
dash of pepper
1 jar of lima bean, drained (or frozen limas and frozen peas)
2 tablespoons butter
In deep skillet, fry bacon until it's almost crispy; then add onion. Fry a little longer then add linguica. Fry a bit longer.
When it's done, add the hot water. When water boils, add rice, paprika and pepper. Cover and simmer over low flame for 25 minutes, then stir in lima beans and butter and take off heat.
