My wife is Brazilian and she suggested this dish when she heard the theme was “Syrian.” Most people know about the history of immigration to Brazil from Portugal, Italy, Germany, and iykyk, Japan (not to mention the slave trade and the indigenous population), but fewer people know that Brazil has a rich history of immigration from the Levant (Lebanon and Syria), too. You can find this represented in dishes like esfirra (sfiha) and kibe (kibbeh).
