About Empanada de verde con queso
Empanada De Verde Con Queso is a traditional dish from Ecuadorian cuisine, celebrated for its comforting flavors and simple ingredients. It features a dough made from green plantains, which are boiled, mashed, and shaped into a pliable base. The filling typically consists of creamy, melted cheese, offering a delightful contrast to the subtle sweetness and starchy texture of the plantain exterior. This dish is naturally gluten-free, and green plantains are a good source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, supporting digestive health and heart function. However, empanadas are often pan-fried or deep-fried, increasing their fat and calorie content, which can be a consideration for those monitoring their intake. Perfect as a snack or side dish, Empanada De Verde Con Queso is a delicious example of Ecuadorian ingenuity in combining local ingredients into comforting, shareable delights.
