Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 150 grams Pork fat
- 200 grams Bread
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Sweet paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 100 milliliters White wine
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 meters Casing
Instructions
Begin by soaking the bread in the white wine and set aside to absorb the liquid.
Chop the chicken breast and pork fat into small pieces. Mince the garlic clove finely.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, pork fat, minced garlic, sweet paprika, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Add the soaked bread to the meat mixture, including any unabsorbed wine. Mix everything with your hands or a spatula until fully combined.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mixture to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the mixture is fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Once cooled, using a spoon, carefully fill the casings with the chicken mixture. Be gentle to avoid tearing the casing.
Tie the ends of each filled casing securely. If filling long lengths of casing, twist at regular intervals to form individual sausages.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the sausages on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake the sausages for about 25-30 minutes or until the casings are golden and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the homemade alheira sausages with your choice of sides such as kale, roasted potatoes, or simply enjoy as is.
