Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local grocery stores. Look for the 'calabresa' sausage in the deli or meat section; if unavailable, a good quality smoked pork sausage makes a suitable substitute. Ensure you use a standard all-purpose flour for the best results.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon cube, processing until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the blender and pulse just enough to incorporate all ingredients into the batter.
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrot, and onion, mixing thoroughly with the fresh parsley.
- Grease a baking dish with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, distribute the filling evenly over the top, and cover with the remaining batter.
- Complete the assembly by garnishing with tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and grated parmesan cheese to taste.
- Preheat your oven to high heat and bake the pie for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
- Check the center with a toothpick or fork after 35 minutes.
- If it comes out dry, the pie is ready to be removed from the oven.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it remains well-structured when serving.
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian staple that deserves a spot in your kitchen repertoire. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and yields a fluffy, comforting texture that holds the filling perfectly. The secret to its irresistible flavor lies in a well-seasoned sauté of calabresa sausage and crispy bacon, topped with a generous sprinkle of grated cheese. Whether served warm or at room temperature, it's always a crowd-pleaser.
