Where to find ingredients
You can find calabresa sausage and requeijão at specialized delis or supermarkets that stock international dairy and charcuterie items. As a substitute for requeijão, a thick, spreadable cream cheese can be used, though it will lack the authentic flavor of the Brazilian product.
Preparation method
- Grate the calabresa and finely chop the small onion.
- In a pan, sauté the onion until translucent.
- Add the grated calabresa and sauté for a few more minutes.
- Drain any excess fat that forms in the pan.
- Remove from heat and stir in the requeijão cremoso until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Allow the filling to cool completely before using it to stuff the pastéis.
