Coxinha - A traditional Brazilian fried snack that comes with its very own little fairy tale. Ingredients Chicken thighs - 630g Onion - 2 large Garlic - 7 cloves Carrot - 1 large/2 small Potato - 1 large Chicken stock or broth - 320ml Black peppercorns - 8 to 10 Parsley - A large handful Smoked paprika - 1 tbsp Cream cheese or Catupiry - 175g Whole milk - 200ml Butter - 1 tbsp Plain flour - 600g Breadcrumbs - 150g Egg - 1 Pantry Olive oil Frying oil Salt Black pepper Method In a pot add the chicken, chopped carrot, 1 chopped onion (skinned), 2 garlic cloves, potato (large chunks), chicken stock/broth and peppercorns. Bring to the boil and simmer until the chicken and potato are fully cooked (around 15 to 20 minutes). Strain and reserve the liquid, then separate the chicken and potato. While the chicken cooks, dice an onion, mince the remaining garlic and finely chop the parsley. Once the chicken has cooled a little, shred it. Mash the potato. Add some olive oil to a frying pan and cook the onion on medium-low until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the paprika and chicken, combine well. Add a drop of stock, the parsley and cheese. Mix and reduce on low until thick. Set aside to cool. In a saucepan add 200ml of the reserved stock, milk, butter and potato. Combine well over a low heat (you’ll handle this soon, so don’t get it too hot). Season with salt, then add flour bit by bit until the mixture comes away from the sides and is difficult to stir. Turn onto a surface and knead. If it’s super sticky, add flour bit by bit until smooth. You may not need all the flour. Divide the dough into an even number of balls (pick your own size). Roll each into a circle and add filling to the middle. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, seal and shape into a teardrop. Beat an egg, then crumb your Coxinhas: flour, egg, breadcrumbs. Heat a pot of oil to 165°C (330°F). Carefully lower in the Coxinhas in batches of no more than 3. Fry for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Don’t rush this at a higher temperature as the dough needs to fully cook. #coxinha #worldfood
