Empanadas are another very typical dish, but not one eaten every week like the cazuela or carbonada. Today we were invited to Marioli and Irma’s house for almuerzo of just empanadas. We had fried ones with cheese. We also had baked ones with meat or chicken or shellfish or dessert ones with fruit filling.
On the right are the baked ones. Yum! They are filled with ground beef, onion, one small slice of boiled egg, one olive (with the pit) and maybe a raisin or two. Many times chicken will be substituted for the beef, but they always include the one olive (with the pit). Watch out teeth!
They also make fried ones (at the very top) with the same fillings. The fried ones with cheese were the best! I didn’t like the ones made with shellfish. Yuck! They make several kinds of dessert empanadas also. My favorite is pineapple.
All Chileans love empanadas. What's not to love?
