description Farinheira Overview

Farinheira is a Portuguese smoked sausage traditionally made with wheat flour, fat, seasonings, and paprika rather than being composed mainly of solid meat. Its soft filling is enclosed in a casing and is normally cooked before eating, often by boiling or frying, because the sausage is not intended to be consumed raw. It appears in dishes such as cozido and is also served with eggs, rice, or other sausages.
