Where to find ingredients
You can find calabresa sausage at specialty butchers or well-stocked supermarkets in the meat section. For requeijão cremoso, check the dairy aisle of major retailers; if unavailable, a thick, mild cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream can be used as a substitute, though the texture will differ from the original.
Preparation method
- Grate the calabresa sausage and finely chop the onion.
- Sauté the onion in a pan until it turns translucent.
- Add the grated calabresa and cook for a few more minutes until browned.
- Drain any excess fat that has rendered from the sausage.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the requeijão until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Allow the filling to cool down completely before using it to stuff your pastéis.
