Where to find ingredients
You can find bacon and fresh produce at local markets in Koror. Requeijão cremoso, a distinctive Brazilian creamy cheese, may need to be sourced from specialty imported goods stores; as a substitute, a high-quality cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream can be used to achieve a similar consistency.
Preparation method
- Fry the chopped bacon in a pan until it turns golden and crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan, set it aside, and discard the excess grease.
- In the same pan, quickly sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent.
- Add the drained corn to the pan with the onion and stir well.
- Incorporate the requeijão cremoso into the corn and onion mixture.
- Fold the reserved crispy bacon back into the pan.
- Stir all ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a firm and homogeneous consistency.
- Allow the filling to cool completely before using it to assemble your pastéis.
