What it is
A rustic, flavorful Portuguese smoked sausage (chouriço), often prepared by being flamed at the table in a special ceramic dish or simply baked in the oven. It's a naturally high-fat, high-protein appetizer.
Key ingredients
Chouriço sausage (pork, paprika, garlic, salt, wine), typically no added oil as its own fat renders during cooking.
Optional tweaks
Ensure it is served alone, without any accompanying bread or starchy sides.
Watch out for
Some industrial chouriço brands may contain small amounts of dextrose or other sugars/fillers. Traditional artisanal chouriço is generally very low carb.
