Rissóis

Portuguese rissóis are a type of savory pastry similar to empanadas or turnovers. They consist of a dough filled with a variety of fillings, which can include shrimp (rissóis de camarão), minced meat (rissóis de carne), or codfish (rissóis de bacalhau). The filled dough is then breaded and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Rissóis are a popular snack or appetizer in Portugal, often served at gatherings, parties, and as part of a selection of petiscos (Portuguese tapas).
