Heart of palm pie is a classic dish in Brazilian cuisine. It is a variation of the traditional pie, usually filled with meat, chicken or other ingredients. However, in the case of heart of palm pie, the filling is made with heart of palm, which makes it a lighter option and is often chosen by vegetarians or those who prefer meatless dishes.

Heart of palm pie has a creamy texture on the inside, due to the heart of palm filling mixed with cream or cream cheese, while the dough is crispy and delicate, creating a delicious contrast with the filling. The flavour is mild and slightly sweet from the heart of palm, with the creaminess that makes the dish comforting.

How to serve:

Heart of palm pie can be served as a main dish or even as a snack. It is ideal for family lunches, parties, get-togethers and even as a light dinner meal.

It is a very versatile dish, and can be accompanied by a green salad or served alone as a complete meal. Its simplicity and delicate flavour make the heart of palm pie a true delight for any occasion.
