The BEST chorizo sausage is available at the Saturday market at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth, the ferry terminal. Actually, they are open daily, too. They have all hand-made, no filler sausages and tons of flavours, i.e. Turkey Fennel, Greek, Italian. They are made somewhere here in Nova Scotia, I think they are called Sweet Williams - and I'm sure they are at the Halifax Market, too. Well worth the trip!!

You can substitute your favorite sausage for sure. Chorizo can be a little difficult to find here as well but you can find it under the "President's Choice" brand at Loblaws/Dominion.

Hi I'm in Lower Sackville Nova Scotia and have never heard of chorizo sausage. Where can I buy that. I am normally a Sobey's shopper. And I also usually cook with tomato /basil or Italian turkey sausage. Will this work. The recipe sounds great though. Keep them coming.
