Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local grocery stores and supermarkets, typically in the produce, meat, dairy, and canned goods aisles. Linguiça calabresa is a specific Brazilian smoked sausage; if unavailable, a high-quality smoked sausage with a similar firm texture is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Blend the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon cube in a blender until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender mixture, pulsing just enough to incorporate everything.
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrots, and onion, mixing well with the parsley.
- Grease a baking pan with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, distribute the filling on top, and cover with the remaining batter.
- Finish the assembly by decorating with tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and grated parmesan cheese to taste.
- Preheat the oven to high heat and bake the pie for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
- Perform the toothpick or fork test after 35 minutes.
- If it comes out dry, the pie is ready to be removed from the oven.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured for serving.
Observations
This recipe is a classic from Brazil that you simply must include in your cookbook. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and ensures a fluffy texture that perfectly complements the rich filling. The secret to an irresistible flavor is to sauté the calabresa and bacon thoroughly and be generous with the grated cheese on top. Whether served warm or at room temperature, this dish is a guaranteed success.
