Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in local grocery stores or markets. Look for the 'linguiça calabresa' and 'queijo ralado' in the cured meats and dairy aisles, respectively. If you cannot find a specific Brazilian sausage, you may substitute it with a smoked pork sausage of your preference, though the original flavor profile will change.
Preparation method
- Blend the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon in a blender until the mixture is homogeneous.
- Add the wheat flour and baking powder to the blender and mix just enough to incorporate everything.
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then add the shredded chicken, corn, peas, carrots, and onions, mixing well with the parsley.
- Grease a baking dish 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 garnishing with tomato slices, a pinch of oregano, and grated parmesan cheese to taste.
- Preheat the oven on 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 clean, the pie is ready to be removed from the oven.
- Let the pie cool down for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured for serving.
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian staple that deserves a permanent spot in your collection. The blender batter is exceptionally fast to prepare and guarantees a fluffy texture that perfectly holds the 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, it is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
