On with our Brazilian food week, today I bring you an easy to make savory appetizer that also packs a ton of flavor! Kibbe (also kibe or kibbeh) originally a Middle-Eastern dish brought to Brazil by immigrants, but now it's been thoroughly embedded in Brazilian culture and cuisine, so you always find at parties, bars, restaurants...it's become one of their most popular dishes! And it's a perfect appetizer or snack when you're watching the Olympic Games in Rio this year! ;)
The Olympics in Rio has truly kicked off (are you watching the games?), and in homage to the host country, we've embarked on a Brazilian culinary journey here on the blog, to bring you some of Brazil's most popular recipes and dishes! And today we bring you one of their most popular party treats, called beijinho , which in Portuguese means "little kiss". You'll see why when you taste them ;)

You'll see what I mean once you watch the recipe video below ;) For now, let's juts say that we're super excited to watch the opening ceremony of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games today! My mom lives in Rio, and she says the city is already buzzing with excitement and stunning displays to welcome the crowds!
