Pastel Carne is a popular Brazilian street food consisting of a thin, crispy pastry pocket filled with seasoned ground beef, onions, and spices. The dough is typically made from wheat flour, water, salt, and sometimes a touch of oil or cachaça for added flavor. It is deep-fried until golden and crunchy, creating a savory, satisfying snack or appetizer. Originating from Portuguese and Italian culinary influences, Pastel Carne reflects Brazil’s vibrant fusion of cultural flavors. While delicious, it is generally high in calories and fat due to the frying process. The beef filling provides a good source of protein and iron, but balancing it with a side of fresh vegetables or a lighter meal can help mitigate its high-fat content. Moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent traditional treat.
