Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at any local supermarket, focusing on the fresh produce section for vegetables and herbs, and the meat counter for the bacon and Brazilian calabresa sausage. If you cannot find the specific sausage, a smoked pork sausage is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, oil, grated cheese, milk, and chicken bouillon until the mixture is smooth
- Add the 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, onion, and fresh parsley
- Grease a baking pan with oil and flour, pour in half of the batter, spread the filling evenly, 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 high heat and bake the pie for approximately 35 to 40 minutes
- Perform the toothpick or fork test after 35 minutes
- If the tester comes out clean, the pie is ready to be removed from the oven
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it is well-structured for 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, tender texture that perfectly complements the savory 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, this dish is a guaranteed success.
