Pastel and brigadeiro



Wednesday was Fernando's farewell party at the office - yes, again food and drink. I know what you must think: when do we actually work? Well, we do in between the food and coffee drinking ;-)

Fernando bid farewell with pastel de carne é pastel de queijo - typical food from here. Meat or cheese wrapped in dough and deep-fried. Fat and delicious!


Pastel

Then we had Valeria's nice tuna mousse. Some fluorescent drink which tasted quite nice - Italian apero from the Veneto region apparently. Fruit salad and... brigadeiro.

Brigadeiro in the making...

Brigadeiro - done!

Basically a mixture of condensed milk, cacao and butter, cooked until boiling and agglomerating so you can make small balls, that you cover with chocolate. Like a chocolate truffle, awfully sweet and fat, but quite delicious! As Ariadne told me as she was preparing it, 'I made a deal that the calories stay in the can and do not blend with the other ingredients in the pot...' I would like to believe her :-) Her version was though a bit different - a flan variation of brigadeiro. The mixture was pourred over fresh strawberries and set for cooling in the fridge.
