Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets or butcher shops in Dar es Salaam and larger cities. Look for bacon in the refrigerated deli section. Requeijão is a specific Brazilian creamy cheese; if unavailable in local import shops, a thick, high-quality cream cheese can serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Fry the diced bacon in a pan until it turns golden and crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside, draining off any excess fat.
- In the same pan, quickly sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
- Add the drained sweet corn to the pan with the onion and stir well.
- Fold the requeijão cremoso into the corn and onion mixture.
- Return the fried bacon to the pan.
- Stir all ingredients together until you achieve a thick, uniform consistency.
- Let the filling cool down completely before using it to stuff the pastéis.
