Esfiha Carne is a savory stuffed pastry popular in Middle Eastern cuisine, especially in Lebanese and Syrian traditions, and widely enjoyed in Brazil. It features a soft, doughy crust filled with a seasoned mixture of ground beef or lamb, onions, parsley, and spices like cumin and paprika, creating a flavorful balance of protein and aromatic herbs. Typically baked until golden, Esfiha Carne is a hearty and satisfying dish. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of protein from the meat and beneficial vitamins like vitamin A and iron from the parsley and spices. However, its healthiness depends on preparation methods. Esfiha made with lean meat and whole-grain dough offers greater nutritional benefits, while versions with higher fat content or refined flour can be less healthy. Moderation is key to enjoying this dish as part of a balanced diet, celebrating its rich origins and mouthwatering taste.
