🇵🇹 Portugal recipe
Alheira
A unique Portuguese smoked sausage with a fascinating history, alheira was created by Jewish communities in the Trás-os-Montes region during the Inquisition. Unable to eat pork, they crafted sausages from bread, poultry, and game meats to appear as if they were eating traditional pork sausages. Today, alheira is a beloved delicacy across Portugal, typically deep-fried until the casing is shatteringly crispy and the interior is soft and creamy.
