About Saltenha de carne

Saltenha de Carne, a savory pastry originating from Bolivian cuisine, is a popular snack enjoyed for its rich flavor and satisfying texture. This hand-sized delight features a golden, flaky dough filled with a flavorful mixture of ground beef, onions, potatoes, peas, boiled eggs, and mildly spiced seasonings. The filling is traditionally juicy, achieved by incorporating broth into the mixture before baking, creating a unique burst of flavor with every bite. While Saltenha de Carne offers a hearty dose of protein and essential nutrients from its meat and vegetables, it can be high in calories due to its buttery pastry and oil content. Moderation is key when enjoying this treat, and pairing it with fresh salad or opting for a smaller portion can balance its indulgent qualities. Saltenha de Carne reflects Bolivia’s vibrant culinary culture and provides a satisfying taste of its flavorful traditions.
