About Rissol

Rissol is a savory pastry originating from Portuguese cuisine, often served as an appetizer or snack. Typically, it consists of a crescent-shaped dough filled with flavorful ingredients such as minced meat, shrimp, or fish, combined with a creamy béchamel sauce. Once filled and sealed, the rissol is coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried until golden and crispy. While rich in taste, the frying process lends the rissol a high calorie and fat content. However, its protein-packed fillings can provide nutritional value depending on the recipe. Variations like baked rissóis offer a healthier alternative with reduced fat. Popular worldwide, rissóis reflect a balance between indulgence and traditional flavors, making them a beloved treat that can fit as an occasional part of a balanced diet.
