Misiu Piciu

We had Spanish Empanada Gallega!! We found it in a store nearby and we could not resist the temptation.

It was an empanada with tuna, red pepper, tomato sauce and onion.

The Empanada Gallega is a variety of empanada typical from Galicia. It is a large rounded or squared pie consisting of pastry and filling. The pastry is a very specific type of bread, thin and mixed with red lard. There are 3 main types of empanada depending on the filing: fish, seafood and meat; but there are thousands of combinations of ingredients.

My favorites are with tuna, but I love many different varieties, with red pepper, onion, tomato sauce, egg, pickles… I could try every combination.
