About Bolinho Caipira
São José dos Campos’s municipal newspaper shares bolinho caipira as a local snack whose demand rises during the June and July festivities. Its recipe encloses seasoned ground meat in a dough made with corn flour and cassava flour.
Chicken bouillon, lemon juice and cheiro-verde flavour the dough, with cooking oil mixed into it. The meat receives an unspecified seasoning, kept distinct from the herbs and citrus in the outer mixture.
The dough is shaped around the filling before frying. Small, enclosed pieces make the snack easy to serve individually, with the corn-and-cassava exterior surrounding the meat.
