1. Pre-chop your ingredients:  Chop the onions into thin, half rounds, rough chop garlic into small pieces, and clean and chop your peppers into strips.  Your sausage can be cut in to whatever shape will work best for how you’re serving it, in a sandwich or over rice but I recommend bit size pieces.

2. Heat oil and butter in a skillet, and when hot enough to sizzle add all the onions.  After the onions are translucent, add your garlic and continue to Sautee until soft.  Next, add the pepper strips and cook until they are soft as well.

3. When the onions and peppers are sautéed, add 1 teaspoon of paprika and stir.  Make a small well in the middle of the pan to add one tablespoon of tomato paste and stir well again. 

4. Now add your sausage and pimenta moida/hot sauce, and as it cooks start adding your liquid a few ounces at a time.  Once the sausage is cooked and you’ve added enough liquid, reduce the heat, cover,  and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. 

After simmering, give it all another good stir and check for it to be cooked to the consistency you prefer. That’s it! Now it’s time to serve!
