Pastel de feijão (plural: pastéis de feijão) is a Portuguese crispy dough pastry, filled with a navy bean jam. They were first introduced in the town of Torres Vedras in the early 20th century though its origin may date earlier as it was originally produced by nuns.[1] It was one of the 38 "characteristic sweets of localities" selected to appear in the Exposição Etnografica Portuguesa in 1896.[2]
