Chouriço à Bombeiro Instructions:
To prepare Chouriço à Bombeiro, place a Portuguese chouriço sausage on top of the terracotta roaster. For the flame effect, use a high-proof grain alcohol - 90 proof or higher works best. Everclear or a similar grain alcohol is ideal. Pour a small amount of alcohol into the center of the roaster, just enough to cover the base; about one to two tablespoons is sufficient.
Carefully ignite the alcohol using a long lighter or match. Allow the flames to char and warm the chouriço, turning it occasionally with tongs to ensure even cooking and a traditional smoky finish. Once the flames naturally extinguish, slice and serve immediately. Enjoy with crusty bread for an authentic Portuguese table-side experience.
