About Empanada gallega

Empanada Gallega is a traditional Spanish pie originating from Galicia, renowned for its flaky pastry and flavorful filling. This dish typically features a crust made from wheat flour and olive oil, encasing a savory mix of ingredients such as tuna, cod, or chicken combined with sautéed onions, red peppers, garlic, and tomatoes. Variations may include hard-boiled eggs or olives for added texture and flavor. As a source of protein and nutrients from the fish and vegetables, it provides some nutritional benefits, but the pastry can be high in refined carbs and fats depending on preparation. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, while the vegetables offer vitamins and antioxidants. However, portion control is key, as the calorie content can be significant due to its dense nature. Empanada Gallega is a satisfying choice for special occasions or as a hearty meal, showcasing a rich culinary tradition.
