Sounds like a slogan, somewhere? No! I just thought to gather some unique, healthy, easy and most especially homemade empanada recipes that you can actually try at the comfort of your home. Empanada is prepared similarly to a pie cut in pieces, making it more easy when eaten.It is made of a thin circular shaped dough patty over stuffing that creates its circular shaped. Just about any food or combination can be made as a filling like meat, fish, vegetables, cheese, fruits and even left-overs. It is a common delicacy mostly in Latin America, the Carribean, Portugal, Spain and Philippines as a stuffed pastry. Empanadas are also known in a wide variety of regional names like empadas or empadinhas in Brasil, empanadas de verde in Ecuador, salvadoreños in El Salvador, paete in Haiti, saltenas in Argentina, pastellilos in Puerto Rico to name a few. Majority of empanadas in America were originally from Galicia, Spain having a similarity in stuffed pies cut in pieces making it conveniently to eat.
