The secret behind Argentine empanadas that everyone should know
Why are these empanadas so much more than a simple bite?
Few preparations reflect the essence of a culture as much as Argentine empanadas. With their golden dough, juicy filling, and that balance between simplicity and flavor, they are one of the most beloved icons of home cooking. At Bodega Argentina, we serve them with the respect that a tradition passed down from generation to generation deserves.
Classic fillings that hold stories in every bite
Each province in Argentina has its own version, but in our kitchen, we opt for the classic: knife-cut meat, seasoned with mild spices. We also offer options with spinach and cheese, corn and rajas, or even just mushrooms. Baked in the oven, each empanada retains the authentic flavor of the south.
Do you know the ideal drink to pair them with?
Argentine drinks play an essential role in the experience. A young red wine, such as a Malbec or Bonarda, enhances the meat filling; while a glass of Torrontés or a sparkling wine refreshes and balances the creamier options. You can also pair them with a fernet and coca cola or a craft beer, depending on your craving and the time of day.
More than a dish, an invitation to share moments
At Bodega Argentina, we believe empanadas are more than just a starter: they’re the starting point for a warm, friendly, and distinctive meal. Their versatility makes them ideal for whetting your appetite or sharing with friends at an informal table. They’re part of the Argentine flavor we celebrate every day.
