Where to find ingredients
You can find calabresa in the deli section or at specialized butcher counters. For requeijão cremoso, check the dairy aisle in major supermarkets in Botswana. If you cannot find authentic requeijão, a high-quality cream cheese or a thick, spreadable processed cheese can be used as a substitute, although the flavor profile will differ.

- Grate the calabresa and finely dice the small onion.
- Sauté the onion in a pan until translucent.

- Drain any excess fat that may have rendered from the sausage.
