Alheira is said to have originated with Portuguese Jews during the Inquisition, who made a poultry sausage to appear to be eating pork while avoiding it.
A distinctive Portuguese sausage made from bread and poultry rather than pork, said to have been created by Jewish communities to avoid persecution during the Inquisition.
Fry or grill the alheira sausages until browned and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
Fry chipped potatoes until golden and crisp.
Fry eggs sunny side up.
Serve the sausage with fried potatoes, a fried egg on top, and greens on the side.
Prick the sausages lightly before cooking to prevent them bursting in the pan.
