Chef Erminia Apolinario grew up eating bolinho de arroz, bite-size rice balls stuffed with cheese (along with anything else you want, like chicken or bacon) and deep-fried. Here the popular Brazilian treat is served with molho verde, a punchy herb-forward sauce, for a perfect snack that, according to Apolinario, can be improved only by serving alongside a cold beer.
