Where to find ingredients
You can find pepperoni at the deli counter of premium grocers or supermarket meat sections. Catupiry, a unique Brazilian creamy cheese, is available at specialized gourmet food stores or international ingredients sections. As a substitute if unavailable, you may use a high-quality, firm cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream to achieve a similar consistency.
Preparation method
- Combine the chopped pepperoni and Catupiry in a bowl, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Add the dried oregano and fold it in well to ensure the herbal notes are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Use the filling while cold to stuff your pastry dough before sealing and frying or baking until crisp.
Observations
This filling brings together the bold, smoky notes of pepperoni with the signature velvet-like richness of Catupiry cheese. It is an excellent choice for those looking to whip up a quick yet flavor-packed snack for gatherings or mid-day cravings. Simply mix the components together and use the mixture chilled to ensure a perfect, balanced texture inside your crispy dough parcels.
