– Keep boneless meatballs to taste, chopped or sliced very thinly (or smoked ham)

– tomato to taste, without seeds, diced
– Salt to taste
– pepper to taste
– dried oregano to taste
PREPARATION:
- Separate the ingredients and utensils for the recipe.
- Cut the tender meat into thin slices or, if you prefer, cut it into strips or process it.
- Cut the mozzarella into slices or grate it on the coarse side of the grater.
- Wash and dry the tomato, remove the seeds and cut it into cubes. Place it in a bowl and season it with salt and pepper.
- For immersion frying (average time is 10 minutes) place a wok or deep pan with plenty of oil over a high heat.
- Line a baking tray with paper towels or use a wire rack or colander to drain the pastries.
PREPARATION:
Musty or tender smoked ham – Stuffing:
- Place a disc of shortcrust pastry on the work surface and in the center of the dough place a small portion of all the ingredients (sliced or striped fillet, sliced or grated mozzarella, seasoned tomato cubes) – do not add too much so that the pastry do not burst while frying.
- Sprinkle with oregano.
- Moisten the edges of the pastry with a little water, fold the pastry to close the pastry and press the edges well to make it adhere.
- Using a fork, press the edges to ensure the pastry is well sealed.
Musty or tender smoked ham – frying:
- When the oil is hot (180°C, if you have a thermometer or test it with a match, if it lights you can use it), lower the heat to medium temperature and add the pastries, a few at a time, as they must be well separated in the pan.
- Using a slotted spoon, pour the hot oil over the pastries.
- When one side is golden, turn it over and brown the other side too.
- Remove the pastries and place them on a rack or colander to drain. Dry with absorbent paper.
- Repeat the previous steps until all the pastries have been fried.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
- Serve the bauru pasta with smoked ham (tender) very hot.
