Pastéis, or pasties, have a history rooted in European and Asian influences. Introduced to Brazil by immigrants, particularly those from Portugal and Japan, these savory pastries adapted to local ingredients and tastes, becoming a beloved snack throughout the country.
Premium Feature
Pastéis are a staple of Brazilian street food and casual dining. They are deeply ingrained in the social fabric of the country, often enjoyed at open-air markets, fairs, and as a quick snack during the day.
Street Food Staple
Pastéis are primarily sold at street markets (feiras) throughout Brazil. These markets are social hubs where people gather to eat, shop, and socialize.
Lanche da Tarde
Pastéis are commonly enjoyed as a 'lanche da tarde' – an afternoon snack, often accompanied by caldo de cana (sugarcane juice) or a cold beer.
Regional Variations
While generally similar, regional variations in fillings and spices exist. Coastal regions may feature more seafood fillings, while inland areas might emphasize heartier meats.
Premium Feature
The 'Mix de Pastéis' offers a variety of savory flavors encased in crispy, deep-fried pastry. Expect a combination of salty, savory, and sometimes slightly sweet notes, depending on the fillings.
The specific flavors depend on the mix provided. Common fillings include ground beef (carne), cheese (queijo), heart of palm (palmito), chicken (frango), and sometimes even shrimp (camarão). The pastry itself is typically made from a thin dough that crisps up beautifully when fried. Each filling offers a unique taste profile, from the richness of ground beef to the subtle sweetness of heart of palm. Garlic, onions, and various herbs and spices are also common in the fillings.
Premium Feature
Enjoy Freshly Fried
Pastéis are best enjoyed hot and fresh from the fryer when the pastry is at its crispiest.
Pair with a Drink
Caldo de Cana (sugar cane juice) is the classic pairing, but a cold beer or a refreshing guarana soda also complements the savory flavors.
Storage
If you have leftovers, reheat them in an oven or air fryer to restore some of the crispness. Microwaving is not recommended as it can make them soggy.
