Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets, greengrocers for fresh produce, and butcher counters for the meat products. Linguiça calabresa can be sourced at deli counters in well-stocked supermarkets; if unavailable, a good quality smoked sausage can serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Blend the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon in a blender until the mixture is smooth
- Add the wheat flour and baking powder to the blender and pulse just enough to incorporate everything
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then stir in the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing well with the parsley
- Grease a baking tin with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, distribute the filling evenly over it, and cover with the remaining batter
- Finish the assembly by decorating with sliced tomatoes, a pinch of oregano, and grated parmesan cheese to taste
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature and bake the pie for approximately 35 to 40 minutes
- Perform the toothpick or fork test after 35 minutes
- If it comes out clean, the pie is ready to be taken out of the oven
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it remains well-structured when serving
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian classic that deserves a permanent spot in your collection. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and results in a soft, fluffy texture that holds the filling perfectly. The secret to an irresistible flavor is to sauté the calabresa and bacon thoroughly and be generous with the grated cheese on top. Serve it warm or at room temperature; it is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
