Salgados offer a diverse range of savory flavors, often featuring creamy, cheesy, and meaty fillings encased in crispy, fried dough.
The flavors vary depending on the specific salgado. Coxinhas are characterized by shredded chicken filling with a creamy, slightly spicy flavor, often seasoned with herbs like parsley and onion. Risoles commonly have fillings like ground beef, shrimp, or cheese, featuring a savory and sometimes tangy flavor profile. Empadas showcase a buttery, crumbly crust and fillings like chicken, hearts of palm, or shrimp, offering a rich and satisfying taste. The use of seasonings like garlic, onion, and various herbs contributes to the overall savory experience.
Función Premium
Dough Consistency
The dough should be smooth, pliable, and not too sticky. Overworking the dough can result in a tough texture after frying.
Filling Moisture
The filling should be moist but not overly watery, as excess moisture can cause the dough to become soggy during frying. Ensure the filling is well-drained.
Frying Temperature
Maintain a consistent oil temperature for even cooking and optimal crispiness. Frying at too low a temperature will result in greasy salgados.
Freezing for Later
Salgados can be prepared ahead of time and frozen before frying. Freeze them individually on a tray before transferring them to a freezer bag to prevent them from sticking together.
