Today I am introducing classic empanada gallega from Spain from the region Galicia. Think a savory slab pie filled with tuna and bell peppers. Empanadas are super popular in all of Latin America. Usually they are served as half moons in a much smaller size; they are a very popular streetfood. You will find a compilation of empanada recipes already on the blog. But to be fair, empanadas originally come from Spain, instead of these little turnovers, they are served as a slab pie, just like this one. The large piece is then cut into single servings. Empanada gallega is often served as a rectangular pie or as a big circle. I found it easier to use my casserole dish for it, which happenes to be rectangular. I hope you are interested in making this delicious savory pie with tuna and bell peppers.
