Method

Grilling Instructions

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Grill the Sausages

Place the chouriço, alheira, and morcela sausages on the grill. Grill each sausage for approximately 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Check for Doneness

The sausages are done when they are nicely browned and have reached an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) for chouriço and alheira. Morcela can be served at a lower temperature due to its ingredients.

Rest and Serve

Remove the sausages from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with crusty bread and mustard, if desired.
