you’ve heard of pastel de nata, now get ready for pastel de feijão. hear me out, we have so many amazing pastries in Portugal, but omg the pastel de feijão!!!!! its shell is made of a crispy dough and it’s filled with a navy bean jam!!! it’s such a perfect combo. please do yourself a favour and try it next time you’re here
This is the best pastry I’ve ever had. It’s like if a créme brûlée and a croissant FUCKED. And gave me their baby to eat! I’ve never been to Portugal so I get it from Otway Bakery in Brooklyn. I try to eat it in like 6 bites but realistically I think I could eat it in one. I want to eat it in one bite so bad like I actually want to do that so bad but I think it’s best I take my time
whether it's the kind you make yourself or the kind you get from the store, it's just endless meal and snack possibilities! i got a pack of cocktail sausages from tesco and used some puff pastry and a little salt and pepper to make a ton of tiny sausage rolls, just popped them in the air fryer for 10ish minutes and immediately had cute little canapes to put in my lunchboxes! i've also tried using that chicken and bacon sandwich filler they have (literally just a mix of chicken breast pieces, bacon and seasoned mayo) to make little greggs style chicken bakes and they banged! i'm sure it would be even better with handmade fillings and puff pastry but making tiny easy pastries to put in my lunchbox has been a fun little addition to my week that i'd really recommend!! best part is you could genuinely put in whatever you wanted - fruits, chocolate, savoury or sweet the choice is yours :D
