Pastel, the symbol of Brazilian street food, is made by placing a filling of ground meat and cheese between paper-thin sheets of dough, sealing the edges, and frying it in hot oil. When fried, it forms an air-filled, crispy shell.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

20 min

Knead the flour, vegetable oil, warm water, vinegar, and salt into a smooth dough; cover it and let rest for 20 minutes.

2

Prepare the filling

15 min

Sauté the onion and green pepper, add the ground beef, cook until it releases and reabsorbs its liquid, then let cool; mix in the kashar cheese.

3

Roll out thin and fill

15 min

Roll the dough out paper-thin and cut into circles, place filling on one half, fold over, and press the edge firmly to seal.

4

Fry

10 min

Fry in hot oil until both sides are golden and puffed, then drain on paper towels.

Reminder

Important: Roll the dough as thin as possible; if it's too thick, it won't puff up while frying. Caution: The oil must be hot enough, otherwise the börek will absorb oil and become heavy. Allergen: contains wheat (gluten) and dairy products.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Folding and sealing the edges with your fingers instead of a fork gives the traditional wavy look of pastel.
