For people who can't eat fried foods, these can be cooked in the oven too. You preheat the oven between 375°F and 400°F (190°C - 205°C) for 15 mins, then you put the empanadas 20 or 25 minutes. When the crust is starting to look gold and firm, then it's done.
As a Paraguayan, this look amazing. If you ever try making them at home, you should definitely try Pastel Mandi'o or Empanada de Mandioca, a Paraguayan dish that is basically a meat filled empanada but with a dough made out of cassava.
Im chilean and those are pretty similar. like! In chile we add olives and sometimes raisins to the filling (we called it "pino"). Also, is most common to make those "pino" empanadas in the oven, while cheese empanadas are deep fried, but personally i think meat deep fried empanadas are great. Cheers!
Chilean pal over here. I know this is a non-specific empanadas recipe but if you want to try something a bit more local I would suggest making the dough with piping hot water to be able to make it super thin yet crispy. Another abuela advice would be to make the filling the day before and let it sit overnight so the flavour develops. Traditional chilean empanadas are made with (ground or finely chopped) beef, sofrito (onion, garlic, and spices), half or quarter of a hard boiled egg (although not mixed with the meat), a black olive and one or two raisins. This vidoe made me hungry already. Thankfully, independence day is around the corner. Cheers!
as a Chilean i can confirm, Empanadas not only are very forgiving but also very variable in what you can fill them with. Also as other people mentioned you can also bake empanadas & the beef-onion filling tends to taste better & be juicier if you leave it rest overnight and/or simmer it which i highly recommend
As an Ilocano (from the province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines), I find it that the empanada is far different in other countries, really. We have our own local "orange-colored" empanada made and originated from the city of Batac. I don't wanna go too much into detail of the history of this native variant however I highly recommend people to research about it as it is definitely one of the foods that we pride on!
My grandma lived in Cuba for around 20 years and she made empanadas all the time. She made them with lamb instead of beef which for me made the whole dish. She also didn't fry them but baked them in the oven instead. Also in the filling she put diced green olives.
They are too small for my taste but it's also understandable because I don't know anyone that makes their own dough for empanadas. We just buy the dough already cut in circles from the supermarket lol
The argentinian empanada is similar to the beef one he made, we just add red bell peppers to the sofrito, ground cumin and oregano, and the olives you mentioned. And if you are fancy you can add half glass of red wine to the filling. In some places in Argentina we use boiled potato cubes in the filling as well.
My maternal grandmother, an Italian immigrant, used to add raisins to the empanada filling, but no one from my father side from the family, who are from Catamarca province did that. To be fair, we have different preferences. Some of my relatives like to make Fatay ("Arabian style empanadas"), which are triangular in shape and are stuffed with raw meat with a pinch of lemon juice and green olive slices
I'm surprised he hasn't done an episode based off the cartoon Chowder yet. He'd be able to get a ton of content out of that, wether it be creating real life equivalents or attempting the actual food from the show.
He has said in the past that he doesn't really like doing food that's too, too "fantastical" Chowder is pretty much nothing but dishes that don't exist made from ingredients that don't exist.
The empanadas remember me of the Brazilian dish Pastel, that has similar dough and filling, but being commonly square and more thin, almost paper-like, and closed with a fork.
@@stewart950 So, the people saying Pastel is normally square are definitely over-emphasizing it. Fried Pastel comes pretty often in the semicircle format too (especially if you buy the dough from a supermarket), even if the standard for our Pastelarias is the rectangle. The oven version usually has a somewhat different, thicker dough (closer to the stardard for empanadas) and is almost always semicircular.
@@stewart950 They're two very different things, so if you ever try the baked one, don't be too surprised if you can't recognise the fried version in it.
It always throws me off guard when Babish keeps his takes from messing up the VO. It’s like a little reset in my brain to make sure I’m paying attention to the video. Don’t know if it’s intentional, but either way it adds a level of realness to Andrew and it makes me happy 😊
My spanish (Galicia) grandmother and my mother make delicious Empanada. They are different though: There are not many smaller turnovers /dumplings but rather it's one big square one that fills the entire baking sheet, then goes into the oven.
My abuela made two empanadas: a savoy one filled with ground beef, chopped green olives, and raisins, and a sweet one filled with pumpkin puree. Yes, I said raisins and olives - they gave it a sweet and salty balance that works really well
My Mexican mother-in-law makes her dough with a mix of masa and smashed cooked potatoes. (About a 2:1 ratio.) The shell is thicker than the wheat one but still has a nice, crunchy exterior. She fills hers with a mix of seasoned shrimp and serves it with lime.
@@peoplesrepublicofliberland5606 well pastelillos and empanadillas are both turnovers but pastelillo dough is thin and crispy. Empanadillas are denser and breadier. But you're probably talking about what's specifically called pastelillos de guayaba which is basically just puff pastry with powdered sugar. But there's also pastelillos with guayaba and cheese, or just guayaba, with a dough like he makes here
These empanadas have my Argentinian seal of approval ! Personally I am vegetarian so I use lentils to make the beef ones and chickpeas to make the chicken ones! They are excellent :D Specially with green olives
As chilean, with fried pino (the meat with onion mixture) empanadas it's best to slice a piece of beef into fine cubes rather than ground it. It might be more work but it's usually cheaper and the result can be much juicier and tastier depending on your choice of beef. Also normally there's a whole black olive added and optionally a sweet raisin. Also also, for fried empanadas some famous fillings are: - melting mild flavor cheese - that cheese but also with: + ham, cubed or square sliced + chicken pino (sliced with sauteed onion and spices) + shrimp, precooking them depending on desired juiciness + pink clams (not for everyone) + cubed dehydrated tomato, ham and oregano (called Napolitana) + sliced dark olives - dark chicken meat and smokey chilli paste - champignon mushroom pino
I grew up on the Brazilian variety of these called a pastel. From what I can tell the only way they were different from these here is that they were quite a bit larger. Delicious!
It makes me smile to see so many fellow south americans in the comments. As a Brazilian myself, these are in every neighborhood bar, but who knows, maybe I'll try making my own some day
as an ilocano (from the south , Ilocos Sur Philippines specifically) we usally fill it with Longanisa (local pork sausage), green papaya, and a runny egg (you can have it cooked thru if you want)
For anybody considering trying to make Empanadas, make your filling a day prior to your dough. Add some Cilantro and/or Parsley. Add a little flour to the filling to have the juices from the meat form a sort of sauce. Most important TIP: Don't cut your dough, instead stretch your dough out on the table, add fillings at your desired distance, and then fold the dough over itself - covering your fillings. Then, cut your filled empanadas with a circular cutter. This allows the cutting of several already filled empanadas saving you time.
Brazilian here, i just wanna share how i think its interesting how much our latin-american couisine is linked cus' this really looks a lot similar to pastel here in Brasil. Love to see it!
always with raisins it ain't optional, the raisins add the sweetness that cuts the salty savory flavor of the filling without any sauce, perfect on the go
I like to browse the commonts when Babish does something with roots in the many Spanish speaking countries as I love seeing the other fillings people suggest or the ones their grandmothers make/made!
Jamaican here, patties typically get lumped in with empanadas and are also very common in New York. The crust is different and a lot more flakey and can literally be pulled apart layer by layer. This looks hella delicious as well.
As an Argentine I'd say those empanadas are alright, we make them with more ingredients to make them extra tasty, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching you struggle to close them with the classic crimp 😂
In Colombia we call the guava paste "bocadillo" and we also pair it with cheese. Is a delicious snack by it self, but when you put it into an empanada, It's from another world. You should try making colombian empanadas (which uses a corn based dough) and the traditional hot sauce we eat with them.
In Indonesia we called it "Pastel" and it had various filling of it, but most common usually using Chicken or Boiled Eggs. Chinese version using Pork or Lard to add more flavor, Arabian type like Samosa, Indian type using curry etc. In my place, each cost about 30-40 cents(4500 to 6000 rupiah) per each with palm-hand size. i usually eat that when I dont have time to lunch and it was fast, easy and convenient.

Brazilian here, you nailed it! I was going to comment that you could seal it using a fork but looks like you already knew that. Also, the filling was spot on!
Finally something from my continent! Many countries make empanadas but in Chile they are considered _the_ most important traditional national food you eat during the most important festivities of the year. "Pino" empanadas are cooked in clay ovens, the dough has milk and the filling has meat in cubes (never grounded), olives and "sultanina" raisins as well as boiled eggs with romero and oregano as main spices, everything cooked with abundant red wine Local seafood (scallop, abalone, crab, clams, shrimp) with cheese are very popular in the coast towns all year round as well.
My mother usually makes empanadas with beef taco seasoning boiled eggs raisins olives and onions are in there too except are usually get ones without the boiled egg since I’m allergic
as chilean, i can say don't need to fry everything, try some puff pastry with cheese and shrimp empanadas in the oven. anyways is nice to see something from latinamerica. warm regards.

I've learned a lot from your videos, but probably the most important is not being afraid to experiment. Tonight's experiment was the one apple pie, because I wanted sweet and I only had one apple. Turns out a large ramekin the perfect size for one apple worth of pie filling. Baked in a toaster oven, this was recently quick, easy, and the tastiest thing to ever come out of that toaster oven. Cheers
Funny how you commented “perfectly edited” on this video, since there was an editing mistake in the voice over (the double take on poaching the chicken). Usually it is perfectly edited tho.
My friend is from Spain, and her enpanadas where always made with tuna onions and paprica as well as a little white wine in the dough. Don't know how traditional this is though
I'm from Argentina and I have to say that you nailed how we traditionally eat empanadas. Try them with little drops of freshly squeezed lemon alongside boiled mandioca ^^ Deep fried mandioca is delicious too
Being from Argentina I must say, these look legit! You filling looks like everything I know, although I don't add egg to my meat empanadas and I prefer using a little bit of spring onion in there too for flavor, the more onion the juicier the empanada heheh. Of course I don't know anyone who puts salsa on their empanadas but, why not? lol
In Spain they’re normally bigger and flat, not in turnover style and baked but the chicken and pepper version is indeed popular, there’s also a pork version, and a tuna one.
Great to see you again in a south American recipe video, feels like it's been a while. Although I must admit, I'm reeeaaalllly enjoying anime with Alvin. I hope the whole team is doing well. Keep up the fantastic work
Colombian here: the doug here could be a yellow one made from corn or this Golden Brown. The corn one is amazing with classic fillings like meat/potatoe or pipian (crushed peanuts). The Golden Brown goes pretty well with some 'fancy' stuff like cheese, mushroms and sweet corn. But every empanada should have a companion spicy salsa called "Ahí casero". It's like a green mexican salsa or a spicy pico de gallo with...
Waheed Abdulla, Silver Slasher, Corviknight Pokemon, Nebraska Storm, and Sassy Cat are all the same person on multiple accounts that literally have recipes ready in advance to upload and like their own comments on specifically videos staring babish and only babish.
here we have two ways of making it. -empanada dough then filling made of cheddar, tomatoes, green chilis, and chicken. -second way is the way that my puetro rican mother and her mother before her called "disco" it's usually beef or chicken with mozzarella cheese. or you can just go for the cheese with no meat.
You remembered me the times that my mom used to do empanadas of meat and also Chicken, now I live alone and would love to replicate your recipe and also hers ✨
Fun fact if you fold the ends it's a empanada but if you crinkle cut it with a fork it's a pastelito. Sometimes used to differenciate between sweet and savory turnovers.
The empanadas I've made (I thought it was pronounced empan-YA-da) are vegetarian banana slice and cheese filled, baked not fried, empanadas. However you do them, YUM.
You can forgo the butter or lard, and use room temperature water and your fried empanadas will come out all right 👍 Now, if you're going to bake them, it's best if you add fats to the dough, although they're still yummy if you don't. Babish is right: many countries claim their recipe is the best, and I'm sure they all taste delicious, so never feel bad if you can't add butter to your dough or if you can't fry them for health reasons, your empanadas will be no less of an empanada for it.
This is much different from the empanadas I eat. They usually have a sweet filling like pumpkin. It’s usually a desert and isn’t fried and is more moist and fluffy

Anything wrapped in dough and cooked is a winner. empanadas, dumplings… as a Ukrainian, our empanadas just have potato/cheese 🥔 they’re called perogies.
For people who can't eat fried foods, these can be cooked in the oven too. You preheat the oven between 375°F and 400°F (190°C - 205°C) for 15 mins, then you put the empanadas 20 or 25 minutes. When the crust is starting to look gold and firm, then it's done.
my method of choice, makes them a bit healthier
You're a life saver!
Btw you can also add some egg wash on top
@SupahKent Games thats a new one, although shouldve realized its a possibility 🤔
This is absolutely an earnest question - who might not be able to eat fried food, but still be able to eat the same food cooked in an oven?
As a Paraguayan, this look amazing. If you ever try making them at home, you should definitely try Pastel Mandi'o or Empanada de Mandioca, a Paraguayan dish that is basically a meat filled empanada but with a dough made out of cassava.

Also as other people mentioned you can also bake empanadas & the beef-onion filling tends to taste better & be juicier if you leave it rest overnight and/or simmer it which i highly recommend
I first read this as a Chinese and I was very confused. Lol
A little tip: Make sure your filling isn't too moist. It doesn't play well with the dough or the sealing of the empanadas
For anyone else wondering, you can bake them and it will still be an enjoyable experience!
And its a little bit healthier 😂
Depending on what dough you use it can even be tastier. My fav ones are baked and use a super flaky dough.
In my opinion, they are far better baked. Fried tends to leave too much taste of oil in the filling.
i actually prefer them made in oven
Do you have a recommended baking temperature and time?
As an Ilocano (from the province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines), I find it that the empanada is far different in other countries, really.

@@Whiskypapa stop it!
@@lrreid No I shant.
I really appreciate these themed sponsors! They aptly add to the video, rather than detract. Great stuff!
As a Malaysian, this reminds me of karipap (curry puffs)
It's epok epok!! 😋
My friend is from Spain, and her enpanadas where always made with tuna onions and paprica as well as a little white wine in the dough. Don't know how traditional this is though
The frying and the beef and egg filling reminds me of Russian pirozhki. Delicious!
I'm from Argentina and I have to say that you nailed how we traditionally eat empanadas. Try them with little drops of freshly squeezed lemon alongside boiled mandioca ^^
Deep fried mandioca is delicious too
Ignore the scammer who replied to this comment--anyway, I'll have to try that next time I have an empanada!
Being from Argentina I must say, these look legit! You filling looks like everything I know, although I don't add egg to my meat empanadas and I prefer using a little bit of spring onion in there too for flavor, the more onion the juicier the empanada heheh. Of course I don't know anyone who puts salsa on their empanadas but, why not? lol
Hacer una salsa para el relleno de las empanadas es cosa centroamericana, especialmente mexicana, por eso se le hace familiar a Andrew en nueva york
En el norte se sirven con una salsa que se llama llajua
Always appreciate seeing the mistakes and learnings! Can help give inight and context for when things don't quite go right at home a well.
As a South American I'm glad to see Babish finally covering this
He also did tamales 🫔
@@morningivy9006 Tamales are mexican p sure, he's probably Argentinian. ... maybe
@@lifdrazor Tamales are Mesoamerican.
In Spain they’re normally bigger and flat, not in turnover style and baked but the chicken and pepper version is indeed popular, there’s also a pork version, and a tuna one.
Great to see you again in a south American recipe video, feels like it's been a while. Although I must admit, I'm reeeaaalllly enjoying anime with Alvin.
I hope the whole team is doing well.
Keep up the fantastic work
the basics with babish intro is the most nostalgic and iconic thing on youtube
As an Argentinian I must say, Das Essen sieht wunderbar aus!
🧐🧐🧐 hmmm
cool
Yuca's empanadas are the best
I love empanadas! I am Filipino.
I love how this entire video is just Babish messing up his recipe, forgetting things, and giving vague instructions.
Love to see you using my style
Imma save this video, just because it brings back such fond memories of high school for me.
One Request: Candy Coated Hotdogs from Flapjack
Colombian here: the doug here could be a yellow one made from corn or this Golden Brown. The corn one is amazing with classic fillings like meat/potatoe or pipian (crushed peanuts). The Golden Brown goes pretty well with some 'fancy' stuff like cheese, mushroms and sweet corn.
But every empanada should have a companion spicy salsa called "Ahí casero". It's like a green mexican salsa or a spicy pico de gallo with...
I want to see you make The Ham-Egg-Edon from Green Eggs and Ham cartoon

here we have two ways of making it.
-empanada dough then filling made of cheddar, tomatoes, green chilis, and chicken.
-second way is the way that my puetro rican mother and her mother before her called "disco" it's usually beef or chicken with mozzarella cheese. or you can just go for the cheese with no meat.
You remembered me the times that my mom used to do empanadas of meat and also Chicken, now I live alone and would love to replicate your recipe and also hers ✨
i really like your videos cuz you always show your mistakes and how you correctted them
Maybe you should try and make Baroness' Complicated Lunch mentioned in Cruella
Fun fact if you fold the ends it's a empanada but if you crinkle cut it with a fork it's a pastelito. Sometimes used to differenciate between sweet and savory turnovers.
You need my tia's ecuadorian empanadas recipe. It was passed down by word of mouth for generations and its my childhood. I'll send it if you want :)
1:21 *pulls out comically large bowl*
My favorite snack
If you don't want to fry them, baking them results in empanadas that are just as delicious!
And more traditional. Original empanadas were always baked. Frying them started way later on.
3:14 Yeah, you really like to gently poach your chicken 😂
The empanadas I've made (I thought it was pronounced empan-YA-da) are vegetarian banana slice and cheese filled, baked not fried, empanadas. However you do them, YUM.
Objective: stay fit.
Issue: Empanadillas 🤤🤤
You can forgo the butter or lard, and use room temperature water and your fried empanadas will come out all right 👍 Now, if you're going to bake them, it's best if you add fats to the dough, although they're still yummy if you don't. Babish is right: many countries claim their recipe is the best, and I'm sure they all taste delicious, so never feel bad if you can't add butter to your dough or if you can't fry them for health reasons, your empanadas will be no less of an empanada for it.
I never seen any empanadas with beef & eggs, or guava & cheese, they usually have the meats by itself, or a meat & cheese combo (my go to 😋)
Beef, eggs, and raisins is the typical Argentinian/Uruguayan empanadas
Same here, I am half Mexican & Half Salvadorian, never seen a beef, and hard boiled empanada. Usually it’s meat & cheese, but never egg.
This is much different from the empanadas I eat. They usually have a sweet filling like pumpkin. It’s usually a desert and isn’t fried and is more moist and fluffy
I think you should make the Ultimate Pizza from Jimmy Neutron episode, "Sleepless in Retroville"

THIS IS THE FIRST AUTHENTIC RECIPE I'VE EVER FOUND. WELL DONE, EMPANADA'S GODS ARE PROUD
I tried to make them 3 days ago, Venezuelan style. Your recipe is nice as well.
Tried? Did you succeed?
@@riasico I doubt, you will need an especial corn flour
Anything wrapped in dough and cooked is a winner. empanadas, dumplings… as a Ukrainian, our empanadas just have potato/cheese 🥔 they’re called perogies.
i heard some call them pierogis, any difference between the 2 names or is it just cosmetic?
@@velvetdraws3452 same food, perogy/pierogi, I just chose to spell it the way my family spells it in english.
@@HotSauceStain thanks for the response! i was just a lil confused
Dang, i don't know what to say, my mouth is watering! 😋
"and already that boy aint right" thank you i needed that bc this flower needs a window seat, i am wilting🥀
