Isn't there any seasoning added to this as it looks like there is in the picture? If there is what is it and I will wait for an answer before I start to make it, thank you in advance. I really enjoy your Portuguese recipes. My Mom and Dad both came from Portugal but I never learned more than two recipes from her.

Color is from frying the linguica in the butter.

Honestly Jen, I would just go with one you like (to taste), we just use whatever we have at home at the time.
