empanada - www.healthnote25.com |
An empanada is a sandwich or pastry baked or fried in many countries
in Latin America, Southern Europe, and parts of Southeast Asia. Its name comes
from the empanar verb, which means the wrapper or the mantle in the bread.
Empanadas are made by folding patty dough or bread around the stuffing. The
entries may consist of, among other things, various meats, cheeses,
huitlacoche, vegetables or fruits.
This food was brought to
Latin America and the Philippines by the Spanish colonials, and to Indonesia by
the Portuguese, where they remained popular to this day.
