Tom HicksI just did this recipe last week, in a crock pot on low for 8 hours. I also added 1tb pimento paste, because to me, the first few times I did it, it was missing something. Went to the local Portuguese bakery and for some papa sacks and......it was great.3 Years ago, Sunday, November 13, 2022
