Questions about Calabresa sausage
How do you cook Calabresa sausage in a frying pan?
Slice it into rounds and fry over medium heat for about 5–8 minutes, turning until browned and piping hot throughout. It releases its own fat, so you usually do not need to add oil.
Do you need to remove the skin from Calabresa sausage?
Usually not: the casing can be left on when you slice and fry it. If it is tough or separates from the meat, peel it off before cooking.
What dishes can you make with Calabresa sausage?
It is often sliced into Brazilian-style pizza, fried with onions for rice or farofa, or added to feijoada. Brown the sausage first so its savoury fat flavours the rest of the dish.
How should you store Calabresa sausage after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use it within the time stated on its packaging. If you will not use it soon, wrap it tightly and freeze it; thaw it in the fridge before cooking.
What can you use instead of Calabresa sausage?
Smoked pork sausage is the closest substitute; choose one with a similar firm texture and smoky, peppery flavour. For a milder result, use smoked sausage and add chilli separately.
