Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan
- Sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
- Add the minced beef to the pan
- Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated
- Add the chopped olives to the sautéed mixture
- Season with salt and pepper to taste
- Mix everything very well
- Remove from the heat and let it cool completely before using as a filling
Observations
This filling is a real all-rounder in the Brazilian kitchen. The key to good results is to sauté the seasonings well and make sure the beef is nicely dry and well seasoned before finishing with the olives.
