Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets such as Pick n Pay or OK Foods. Look for calabresa sausage in the cured meats or specialty deli section. If you cannot find calabresa, a smoked chorizo can serve as a substitute, although the original flavor profile will differ.
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 pulse just enough to incorporate everything
- Sauté the bacon and calabresa, then add 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 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 to 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 remains well-structured for serving
Observations
This recipe is a Brazilian classic that deserves a permanent spot in your kitchen notebook. The blender batter is incredibly quick to prepare and yields a fluffy texture that perfectly holds the hearty filling. The secret to an irresistible flavor is to sauté the calabresa and bacon thoroughly and be generous with the grated cheese topping. Serve it warm or at room temperature; it is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
