Preparation > Portuguese alheira bread sausage
In a large pan, sauté the chopped onion with olive oil;
Add the chicken and ham, fry until golden;
Add water until it covers the meat, the amount may vary depending on the size of the pan;
Add the paprika, pepper and salt and cook until the meat is falling apart, falling off the bones;
While cooking, cut the bread into very thin slices and place them on a large platter;
Remove the meat from the pan, shred it and set aside;
Add the still hot broth to the bread and stir until it forms a wet dough, but not too soft;
Chop the garlic, sausage and chives and brown them in a frying pan with a little olive oil;
Add the shredded meat and golden garlic with the sausage and chives over the bread dough and mix well;
Prepare beef, pork or collagen casing.
Place in the casing, tying in a U shape;
Smoke with low smoke intensity and little heat (up to 40ºC if possible). Leave it overnight to lightly smoke;
After smoking, the sausages are ready for consumption. For a tastier preparation, brown the alheiras in a frying pan with olive oil. They may burst during the process, but that's okay. Other ways of preparation are frying by immersion in oil or in the oven.

Seria possível fazer esta mesma base usando carne de caça (como javali) mantendo as mesmas proporções de sal?

Eu faço uma mista de porco e javali, fica balanceada.

A Alheira surgiu durante a inquisição em Portugal, criada para parecer um embutido de porco, mas feita de pão e carnes permitidas (aves/caça).
