About Empanadas arabes

Empanadas Arabes are savory pastries inspired by Middle Eastern flavors, blending cultural culinary traditions into a satisfying dish. Typically made with a soft dough, these empanadas are filled with a mixture of seasoned ground beef or lamb, onions, tomatoes, and fragrant spices like cumin, paprika, and cinnamon. Some recipes may include pine nuts or raisins for added texture and sweetness. Originating from the Arab immigration to Latin America, their fusion highlights both Mediterranean and Latin influences. In terms of nutrition, Empanadas Arabes offer protein from the meat filling, along with essential vitamins and minerals from the fresh vegetables and spices. However, their nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation methods. Baking these empanadas reduces fat content, whereas frying increases calories and saturated fats. Pairing them with a side of fresh greens can balance the dish, making it a wholesome and flavorful option for enjoying varied cuisines.
