Pastel's origins are intertwined with the arrival of Asian immigrants in Brazil, particularly the Japanese. During World War II, Japanese immigrants, facing discrimination, sought to disguise their ethnicity by selling these fried pastries, which became a popular street food.

Pastel is a ubiquitous street food in Brazil, deeply ingrained in the country's culinary culture. It's commonly found at open-air markets (feiras), street vendors, and 'pastelarias' (pastel shops).
Feiras (Open-Air Markets)
Pastel is a staple food at Brazilian feiras, where vendors fry them fresh on the spot. The aroma of freshly fried pastel is a signature scent of these markets.
Lanches (Snacks)
Pastel is often enjoyed as a quick and affordable snack or light meal, particularly during lunch or afternoon breaks.
Family Gatherings
While primarily a street food, Pastel can also be made at home and shared during family gatherings and informal meals.
Funzionalità Premium
Pastel offers a diverse range of flavors and fillings, from savory meats and cheeses to sweet fruits and creams. The crispy, deep-fried dough complements the fillings, creating a delightful contrast in textures and tastes.
Common savory fillings include ground beef, cheese (especially mozzarella), chicken, heart of palm (palmito), and shrimp. Vegetarian options often feature cheese, heart of palm, or vegetables. Sweet fillings may include guava paste and cheese (Romeu e Julieta), chocolate, or banana. The dough itself is usually subtly flavored and gets most of its taste from the frying process and fillings.

Freshness is Key
Pastel is best enjoyed fresh and hot, right after being fried. The crispy exterior and warm filling are at their peak when freshly prepared.
Pairing with Caldo de Cana
A classic pairing with pastel is caldo de cana (sugarcane juice). The sweetness of the juice complements the savory or sweet fillings of the pastel.
Experiment with Fillings
Don't be afraid to try different fillings! From traditional ground beef to adventurous shrimp or vegetarian combinations, the possibilities are endless.
