    In Portugal we actually use the term “enchido”. “Embutido” is apparently used in Brazil – though I’m not sure. The Northeastern and Southern regions of Portugal produce some of my favourite “enchidos”. :))) Some of them can be flame-cooked over alcohol… yum!

    I wasn’t sure what this was from the picture because I’ve never seen sausage with an egg in the middle. What a great bite of food! I love this! And even though it doesn’t “look” easy to make, it sounds easy. Thanks for sharing!

  11. I wish i can try this right now. The idea of steamed meat, sausage, and egg just makes me hungry. love all kinds of sausages and I personally have not found a sausage that I don’t like so far. Thanks for sharing this dish!!
