How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and add the garlic and linguica (chourico). Sauté for 8 minutes, then add the potatoes, mix well and continue cooking for a few minutes.

  • Step 2: Add the tomatoes, wine, water and kale, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn to a simmer and add the kidney beans. Season with salt and pepper, and leave to simmer 30–40 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked through.

  • Step 3: Meanwhile, shuck the oysters, remove from shells and transfer to a bowl. Drain half of the liquor and keep refrigerated until ready to use. Once the potatoes are cooked through, add the oysters and stir to warm through for about 5 minutes.

  • Step 4: Serve with crusty bread or oyster crackers.
