Steps to make Pastel - A Brazilian Dish Easily Made at Home:

- Heat the pan with olive oil, add the garlic, and once it's fragrant, add the ground beef. Lightly season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until it becomes crumbly and it turns brown.
- Add the onions, carrot, chopped raisins, and green olives, and continue stir-frying.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce, sprinkle in the soup stock granules, cumin, and oregano, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the filling into a bowl to let it cool down.
- Once the bread dough (or pastry dough) has finished the 1st rising, roll it out into 10 cm diameter circles.
- Put 1 tablespoon of the cooled filling and a thinly sliced boiled egg on top of each portion of bread dough.
- Fold the dough into half, seal the edges like you're making gyoza dumplings, and press a fork around the borders to seal them up tightly.
- Brush the surface of the dough with the beaten egg, bake in the oven preheated to 180°C for 15 minutes until nice and golden brown, and they're done.
- If you're able to find green olives stuffed with pimento, I strongly recommend you use them. You'll get much closer to the authentic taste!
- You can also make them using either 2 wonton skins or 2 spring roll wrappers. Put the filling on the 1st sheet of wrapper as shown in the photo, and lay the other wrapper on top.
- This are Brazilian-style fried wontons - it's the same filling wrapped with wonton skins and then deep-fried.
