Alheira: another Portuguese sausage that followed me home from Seabra\u2019s in Newark. In this case, I didn\u2019t repurpose it into some wits\u2019 end adaptation of authenticity but rather prepared it in the traditional fashion \u2013 not to mention that doing so required precious little time in the kitchen \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n

\nOriginally, alheira was a bready, herby, garlic-heavy (alho means garlic in Portuguese) wily subterfuge reputedly cooked up by Portuguese Jews during the Inquisition; sometimes containing chicken or other meats, it looked the part when hanging in the smokehouse, but was porkless and therefore kosher, allaying any suspicion of non-Christian religious activities behind closed portas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe inner workings.<\/p>\n

This one had no detectable meat other than in the form of fat \u2013 think Portuguese kishka \u2013 but brought a strong vinegar component to the plate. Often accompanied by a fried egg (a perfect foil to be sure) and saut\u00e9ed greens, I tried to keep it real.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s four sausages down, one more to go!
