About Pastel de carne

Pastel de Carne is a savory pastry popular in Latin American and Iberian cuisines, particularly in Brazil and Portugal. This dish consists of a thin, crispy dough filled with seasoned ground beef, onions, garlic, and occasionally olives or boiled eggs for added flavor. It is often deep-fried until golden, though baked versions are also common. While Pastel de Carne provides a good source of protein from the beef, its health impact largely depends on preparation. The deep-fried variety can be high in calories and fats, whereas the baked alternative offers a lighter option. Rich in taste and versatile with optional vegetable fillings, Pastel de Carne is a flavorful snack or appetizer, though best enjoyed in moderation when fried.
