Empanadas
DESCRIPTION

Empanadas are savory pastries filled with a flavorful mixture of ground beef, onions, bell peppers, eggs, and olives, seasoned with sweet paprika, chili pepper, cumin, and scallions. The filling is encased in a crispy, golden-brown crust that is deep-fried until crispy on the outside and hot and melty on the inside, resulting in a satisfyingly greasy and cheesy bite.

WINE PAIRING

For the savory and crispy Empanadas, filled with flavorful ground beef, onions, bell peppers, and spices, a refreshing sparkling white wine like Fiano is an excellent pairing choice. The wine's crisp acidity and bubbles help cut through the richness of the fried pastry, while its subtle fruit notes complement the filling. Alternatively, a light-bodied red wine like Barbera, with its bright acidity and red fruit flavors, can also stand up to the bold flavors of the Empanadas.
