About Croquete de alheira
Croquete de Alheira is a traditional Portuguese snack made from alheira, a distinct sausage crafted with a mix of poultry, bread, garlic, and spices. Often served as a crispy golden appetizer, it’s shaped into small croquettes, breaded, and fried to perfection. Originating from Northern Portugal, alheira carries historical significance, originally created by Jewish communities as a pork-free sausage during the Inquisition. This indulgent treat offers a burst of rich, savory flavors, but it’s generally high in calories and fat due to the frying process and sausage composition. While it provides protein from the poultry and energy from the bread, its sodium and fat content may require mindful consumption. Enjoy Croquete de Alheira as an occasional delight, pairing it with a fresh salad or lighter options to maintain balance in your meal.
