Between appetizers, nibbles and elaborate dishes, this list has the face of São Paulo
January 25th is St. Paul’s birthday, and obviously we couldn’t help but draw up a special list of typical recipes from the city. Being a gigantic gastronomic center with many cultural influences, São Paulo breathes and inspires cuisine every day. Mortadella sandwich, coxinha, grilled bread and minced meat are some of the most famous dishes. Discover ten traditional recipes to celebrate the anniversary of this beloved city.
Wand
The coxinha is almost unanimous in São Paulo. A guaranteed presence in bars, snack bars and restaurants, this delicacy has become synonymous with the flavor of São Paulo. It can also be stuffed with catupiry, cream cheese, and other cheeses, chicken coxinha is surely one of the city’s greatest delicacies.
Bolognese sandwich
Iconic and very traditional in São Paulo, pizza margherita is the favorite flavor of many São Paulo people. We’ve enlisted the help of chef and pizza maker Eduardo Almeida to teach you how to make the best margherita pizza, with special touches from someone who’s a master of the subject.
Bauru
There are many people who know Bauru as the combination of ham, cheese and tomato inside bread, but the original version is not like that. That’s why we went to Ponto Chic, where the snack was born, to teach you how to make this classic Sao Paulo sandwich. Into a crumbled French bread, add roast beef slices, tomato and cucumber slices covered in cheese. This is the traditional Bauru recipe.
bolovo
Of uncertain origin, the bolovo is a very popular snack in the bars of São Paulo. The Scotch Egg, the biscuit that inspired Bolovo, is known to have been created in Scotland around the 18th century. However, there is no evidence to explain how salty food ended up here in São Paulo. If you’re a fan of bolovo, make this recipe that has sausage and a shot of cachaça in the filling.
Discreet pastel
Traditionally served in the city’s restaurants on Mondays, homemade virado à paulista is a perfect dish for everyday use. Accompanied by a little pepper and a tender rib, this recipe is sure to be on your favorites list for its convenience and spectacular seasoning. In fact, this is one of the best typical recipes from São Paulo.
Ham sandwich
The shank sandwich is not a classic of São Paulo cuisine by any means. With a soft and very versatile filling, the ham sandwich is delicious and has thousands of admirers. In addition to being a typical dish at the gates of the stadiums of São Paulo, the ham sandwich is also a great option for a quick meal for the daily frenzy.
Couscous Paulista
Who doesn’t want to taste a delicious São Paulo couscous for lunch or dinner? This recipe is very simple and has several variations. In addition to being made with corn, chef Marcílio Araújo’s recipe is served with delicious prawns, tomatoes and peppers.
Beirut
The combination of flatbread stuffed with thinly sliced roast beef, tomato slices, cheese and oregano, cooked until toasty, originated at the Bambi restaurant, which for decades has been a staple of Arab cuisine in São Paulo. Beirut became so famous for its delicious taste that it became a rage among the people of São Paulo.
