About Tablespoon of empanada made of aji de gallina

A Tablespoon of Empanada made of Aji de Gallina is a small bite of Peruvian-inspired fusion cuisine. These empanadas are typically crafted with a delicate pastry shell and filled with the flavorful Aji de Gallina, a creamy chicken mixture seasoned with Peruvian yellow chili peppers, walnuts, cheese, and spices. This dish merges the richness of traditional Peruvian fare with the portability of a hand-held snack. While the filling provides protein from the chicken and a dose of healthy fats from the walnuts, the empanada's outer pastry can be calorie-dense due to its refined flour and fats. Portions like a tablespoon-sized piece help keep the indulgence manageable, making it a delightful treat for savoring authentic flavors without overindulging.
