What it is
A traditional Portuguese smoked sausage, often made with game meats (e.g., duck, rabbit, wild boar) and sometimes pork, typically pan-fried or grilled. It is usually served with fries and a fried egg. For keto, the fries are omitted and replaced with low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Alheira de Caça (game sausage), egg, olive oil, side salad (mixed greens, cucumber) or steamed vegetables.
If you order it anyway
Request no fries. Ask for a fried egg and a simple side salad (with oil and vinegar dressing) or steamed vegetables instead.
Watch out for
Alheira sausage can contain bread or flour as a binder; inquire if possible or estimate on the higher side. Fries are a standard accompaniment and must be omitted. Check for sugary sauces.
