The alheira is a type of Portuguese sausage, made with meats (usually pork, veal, duck, chicken, quail or rabbit) and bread. Alheira derives from alho (garlic) as it was usually seasoned with it, although today not all of them are.
This recipe pick uses another previously published – Sautéed spinaches with alheira de Mirandela – to fill mushrooms, and cheese is added on top.
A very tasty snack that can be served in a gathering with family or friends
