Empanadas are delicious. They originate in Latin America and their manufacture varies slightly from country to country.
Their secret lies in the dough. They can be made from scratch yourself or from ready-made puff pastry, depending on what you like the most yourself. The same is true for the filling.
Empanadas usually contain ingredients that are suitable for a vegan diet. For example, before being placed in the oven, they are usually covered with a mixture of beaten eggs to ensure better texture, color and taste. That’s why many people wonder if it’s possible to make vegan empanades.
Of course it is!
Below we present two vegan, easy empanada recipes. They are delicious!
