About Pastel de Feijão
Pastel de feijão is a traditional sweet from Torres Vedras, made with cooked and puréed white beans, ground almonds, sugar and eggs. Using beans in pastry may seem surprising, but the result is a moist, delicate cake. It is another example of Portuguese pastry's creativity in transforming humble ingredients. At A Pharmácia da Avó, this sweet represents the ingenuity of regional recipes.
