Brazilian Grits with Sausage

Canjiquinha (corn grits) is one of those cold weather meals that hugs your soul! Also known as péla-égua or quirerada, this is a dish from Minas Gerais that is very popular during our winter festivals (festas juninas). This dish is served as a main dish, sometimes accompanied by sautéed collard greens. The consistency is up to you: Canjiquinha can be thick like American grits or a little looser, like a soup.
