About Meat empanada
Meat empanadas are savory turnovers originating from Latin American and Spanish cuisines. They consist of a golden, flaky pastry dough filled with a flavorful blend of seasoned meat, such as beef, pork, or chicken, often accompanied by onions, garlic, and spices like cumin or paprika. Some variations may include olives, boiled eggs, or vegetables, adding extra texture and flavor. Empanadas are typically baked or fried, with the preparation method influencing their nutritional profile. Baked versions tend to be lower in fat and calories compared to fried ones. While rich in protein from the meat filling, they can also be high in refined carbohydrates due to the dough, and frying may increase their saturated fat content. They are best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, pairing them with fresh salads or steamed vegetables for added fiber and nutrients.
