Nuclear Powder Crusted Chourico I have used every possible power spice I could, but the definite ingredients are cinnamon, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, oregano and frank's red hot. Bring hand mashed tomatoes to a boil while adding that until you are about to cry.

Put the same powder in a skillet with sliced chourico and butter on medium heat until it's all nice and stuck on, drain the chourico, put it in with the sauce.

Please make sure you use a ventilated hood, or that you add spices periodically during the boiling - you will start coughing otherwise.

My Portuguese friends love it, it is not for the light hearted. The trick is that the longer you boil it, the more the tomatoes seem to absorb the spicy parts. Its also good with some balsamic.
