Alheira roll with apple, spinach and walnuts

In the month marked by the return of Feira Sabores de Chaves to the face-to-face registration and which brought thousands of people to our city, the Healthy Choice of Termas de Chaves honors this endogenous product of the region.

With the smokehouse as the star, alheira is the protagonist of this month's proposal. The combination of this sausage with apple, spinach and walnuts is to eat and cry for more!

In addition to being delicious, it is a dish rich in vitamins A, C and E, with proteins of high biological value and minerals such as calcium and potassium. Thanks to spinach, it also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

This recipe was presented last Saturday by the nutritionist Filipe Ferreira, at the Showcooking included in the Sabores de Chaves event.

Let's go to the kitchen and get to work!
