Salgadinhos!

Salgadinhos is a category of Brazilian finger foods that are absolutely great as appetizers or sides to an entree. My favorite is coxinhas, like a chicken stuffed pastry, it's kind of hard to describe it... so here it is.



Coxinha is the top right and on the bottom we have a  Brazilian cheese rissole, again hard to describe... A doughy cheese filled fried dumpling? The pasta is penne with a mascarpone infused tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese.

If you are curious about Salgadinhos, search for a traditional Brazilian restaurant and make inquires, or even better GO TO BRAZIL!
