<\/span><\/h3>\nTo the mixing bowl with the cassava flour and vegetable oil, add the nutritional yeast, lime juice, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Combining all ingredients<\/span><\/h3>\nGradually pour the sautéed onion and garlic mixture and the vegetable broth into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. Mix well until a smooth and pliable dough forms.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Filling Preparation<\/span><\/h2>\nTo prepare the filling for the Coxinhas, follow these steps:<\/p>\n
<\/span>Chopping hearts of palm, onion, garlic, and black olives<\/span><\/h3>\nFinely chop the hearts of palm, onion, garlic, and black olives. This will ensure that the filling is evenly distributed and adds texture to each bite.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Sautéing onion and garlic in vegetable oil<\/span><\/h3>\nIn a skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in vegetable oil until they become soft and fragrant.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Adding hearts of palm, black olives, and tomato paste<\/span><\/h3>\nAdd the chopped hearts of palm, black olives, and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Pouring vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper<\/span><\/h3>\nGradually pour the vegetable broth into the skillet, followed by the salt and black pepper. Stir well to coat all the ingredients and let the mixture simmer until it thickens slightly.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Cooking until the mixture thickens<\/span><\/h3>\nContinue cooking the filling over medium heat until it reaches a thick and cohesive consistency. This will ensure that the filling holds its shape when placed inside the Coxinhas.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Assembling the Coxinhas<\/span><\/h2>\nAssembling the Coxinhas requires careful attention to detail. Here’s how you do it:<\/p>\n
<\/span>Rolling dough into small circles<\/span><\/h3>\nTake a small portion of the prepared dough and roll it between your palms to form a small circle, about the size of a golf ball.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Placing a spoonful of filling in the center<\/span><\/h3>\nPlace a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center of the dough circle. Be careful not to overfill, as it may cause the Coxinha to burst during frying.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Folding and shaping the dough around the filling<\/span><\/h3>\nBring the edges of the dough circle together and fold them over the filling. Gently shape the Coxinha into a teardrop shape, tapering towards one end.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Sealing the edges<\/span><\/h3>\nPinch the edges of the dough together to seal the Coxinha tightly. Make sure no filling is exposed, as it may cause the Coxinha to burst during frying.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Repeating the process for all Coxinhas<\/span><\/h3>\nRepeat the rolling, filling, folding, shaping, and sealing process for the remaining dough and filling, until all the Coxinhas are assembled.<\/p>\n
