About Empanada
An empanada is a savory pastry commonly found in Latin American, Spanish, and Filipino cuisines. Originating from Spain, its name comes from the Spanish word "empanar," meaning "to bread" or "coat with bread." Empanadas are typically made with a dough that encases a versatile filling, which can include seasoned meats, vegetables, cheeses, or even sweet ingredients for dessert variations. They are traditionally baked or fried, with fried versions being less healthy due to higher fat content from the cooking process. Nutritional aspects depend on the filling and preparation method—vegetable-stuffed or lean protein empanadas can provide vitamins and good-quality protein, while fried versions or those with high-fat or processed fillings may be higher in calories and saturated fats. Empanadas are a flavorful and convenient option, offering a balance of carbs, protein, and fats when prepared mindfully with wholesome ingredients and baking methods.
