    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.

    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

    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.

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.

    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

    -empanada dough then filling made of cheddar, tomatoes, green chilis, and chicken.

    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.
