About Mushroom empanada

Mushroom Empanadas are a savory pastry dish that draws inspiration from Latin American cuisine, particularly Argentinian and Spanish culinary traditions. These hand-held delights feature a flaky, golden-brown crust enveloping a flavorful filling made from sautéed mushrooms, onions, garlic, and a blend of herbs and spices. The mushrooms serve as a rich source of antioxidants, B vitamins, and essential minerals like selenium, making them a nutritious alternative to heavier, meat-filled empanadas. The dough for empanadas typically includes flour, butter, or shortening, which can contribute to higher calorie and fat content, especially if fried instead of baked. To keep them more health-conscious, baking is a recommended preparation method, and whole-grain flour can be substituted for refined white flour in the crust. Mushroom Empanadas are a versatile option for vegetarians and anyone seeking a plant-forward dish packed with earthy, comforting flavors.
