About Pork empanadas
Pork empanadas are a savory pastry commonly found in Latin American and Spanish cuisine, celebrated for their flavorful filling and flaky crust. These handheld pockets are made with a dough typically crafted from flour, butter, and eggs, enclosing a hearty mixture of ground pork, onions, garlic, and spices such as paprika or cumin. Vegetables like bell peppers or olives may also be added for extra texture and taste. While empanadas are rich in protein from the pork and may include fiber from added vegetables, they are often fried or baked with butter-based crusts, making them high in calories and saturated fats. For a healthier twist, opt for baking over frying and consider using whole-grain flour or leaner cuts of pork. Pairing them with a fresh salad or salsa can add balance to this indulgent yet delicious dish.
