Best described as little pockets with hot fillings; empanadas are crescent-shaped, flaky pastry dough pies found throughout Latin America that are easy to prepare, inexpensive, and convenient. The name of the dish stems from the Spanish empanar, which literally translates to covered with bread or breaded. Empanadas are likely to have originated from Galicia, Spain, where they were prepared as a portable and filling meal for working people, providing energy and nutrients needed for a day of hard labor. Baked and fried until golden, they are usually filled with a variety of spiced meats and vegetables, depending on regional preferences. In Mexico, cornmeal flour and minilla (a spicy combination of chilis, olives, capers, and shark meat) is the most popular filling. In Chile, it is clams, mussels, and scallops, and in Bolivia, the filling consists of potatoes and eggs - in spicy or mild versions of the dish. Spain is famous for its empanada gallega, filled with a stew-like combination of pork or tuna and peppers. However, Argentina is considered by many to be the best place for empanada lovers worldwide, and they can be found everywhere - from street-food carts and local bakeries to fancy restaurants. Argentinian empanadas are rarely (almost never) eaten for breakfast. There are also sweet varieties of the dish, filled with dulce de leche or fresh pineapple cubes. A true international dish in every sense of the word, empanadas are so popular that there is even a Latin American Empanada Festival, celebrated each September in the Tucum&aacute;n province in Argentina.

Pata Negra

Meat empanadas with spicy taste. Pickles inside. Nice black pepper touch.

I didn’t like the taste of bread too much oil. Relatively small compared to other empanada i have eaten so far.
