With this recipe, I wanted to achieve the comfort of being able to eat a typical Portuguese dish, without the burden on conscience and health, creating a 100% vegetable recipe. I think I've achieved a balanced dish, which doesn't make us miss sausages loaded with saturated fat.
This recipe uses the seitan and chorizo or organic shitake sausage from Irmãos Oliveira, which you can order directly from Veond with a 30% discount.
