 +
 +==== Esfiha Aberta à Paulista ====
 +Thanks to Lebanese and Syrian immigration, open-faced savory pastries (esfihas) with ground meat, cheese, or spinach became wildly popular — with São Paulo's own crust style and spice blend. [([[https://tarasmulticulturaltable.com/ground-beef-esfirra/|Tara's Multicultural Kitchen ]])]
