About Spanish beef empanada
A Spanish beef empanada is a savory pastry originating from Spain, showcasing the rich flavors of Spanish cuisine. The flaky golden crust is made from wheat flour, butter, and eggs, encasing a flavorful filling of ground beef, onions, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and an aromatic blend of Spanish spices like paprika and cumin. Sometimes olives, raisins, or hard-boiled eggs are added for extra texture and depth. While the beef provides a good source of protein and iron, the pastry's buttery crust contributes to its higher calorie and fat content, making it an indulgent treat. Packed with vegetables, an empanada also delivers vitamins, minerals, and fiber, though moderation is key due to its sodium and fat levels. Perfect as a snack or main dish, this versatile Spanish staple reflects the bold yet comforting flavors of Iberian tradition.
