Pastel de Chaves is a traditional Portuguese pastry hailing from the northern town of Chaves. This savory delicacy features a flaky, buttery puff pastry filled with richly seasoned minced beef, often flavored with onion, garlic, and a hint of spices. It reflects Portugal’s culinary heritage of blending simple, high-quality ingredients into comforting dishes. While its crispy, golden exterior and hearty filling make it an indulgent treat, it is relatively high in fats and calories due to the pastry dough and cooking process. However, the beef filling provides a good source of iron and protein, which support muscle maintenance and energy levels. Moderation is key, and pairing it with fresh vegetables or a light salad can create a more balanced meal. Pastel de Chaves is perfect as an occasional indulgence for those looking to savor authentic Portuguese flavors.
