About Esfirra
Esfirra is a traditional Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dish, popularized in Lebanese and Syrian cuisines and widely enjoyed in Brazil. These savory stuffed pastries are typically made with a soft wheat-based dough and filled with a variety of ingredients such as spiced ground beef, chicken, cheese, or spinach. Esfirras are often baked, which makes them a lighter option compared to fried pastries. They provide a source of protein from their fillings, and when prepared with vegetable fillings, they can offer fiber and essential vitamins. However, they can be calorie-dense due to the dough and fatty meat fillings, depending on the recipe. Homemade or whole-grain versions with lean proteins and vegetables can enhance their nutritional value. Esfirras are versatile and flavorful, offering a glimpse into the culinary heritage of their origins while also serving as a satisfying snack or meal option.
