Ingredients
In this Extremaduran adaptation, we replace some of the traditional Hungarian ingredients with those commonly found in Extremadura. The original Fatányerós typically includes ingredients like Hungarian sausage, paprika, and sour cream. In our version, we substitute the Hungarian sausage with chorizo, the paprika with pimentón (Spanish smoked paprika), and the sour cream with a creamy goat cheese from Extremadura. These changes infuse the dish with the distinct flavors of Extremaduran cuisine while still maintaining the essence of the original Fatányerós.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chorizo — Make sure to choose a good quality chorizo with a balance of smoky and spicy flavors.
- Pimentón — Opt for a sweet or mild pimentón if you prefer a milder taste, or use a hot variety for a spicier kick.
- Creamy goat cheese — Look for a creamy and tangy goat cheese from Extremadura to add a unique flavor to the dish.
Tips & Tricks
- For a smokier flavor, you can grill the bell peppers before adding them to the dish.
- If you can't find creamy goat cheese, you can substitute it with a mild feta cheese.
- Serve the Fatányerós with a side of mixed greens dressed in a simple vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or whole grain, to add extra depth of flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chorizo and vegetable mixture.
