You can eat it by itself as a meal or as an appetizer for the asado (barbecue). There are many different types with many different fillings. It is often paired with Chilean red wine, but any beverage is also good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2021\/07\/empanada-de-horno-con-pebre-1.jpg\" alt=\"Chilean empanada on a dish with a side of pebre\" class=\"wp-image-84448\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chilean empanada on a dish with a side of pebre. Photo: [@elsabordelobueno]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p7\">In the countryside, they are cooked inside mud or wood-fired ovens, while in cities, they are cooked in regular modern ovens. Almost nothing beats a freshly baked empanada, which you can eat with some Chilean pebre. If you don&#8217;t know what pebre is, now you&#8217;ll want to try it. It&#8217;s a picante-sauce made with diced tomatoes, chopped onions, hot peppers, coriander, lemon, and salt. In general, Chileans don&#8217;t eat food too spicy, so don&#8217;t be afraid to try the pebre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading p8\"><strong>The story behind this hit dish\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3\">The name `empanada&#8217; comes from the verb &#8217;empanar&#8217;, which means wrapping or covering with bread, as they are basically empanada dough wrapped around a filling, of which there are many kinds. The most popular consist of meat, chicken, or seafood and can have vegetables, eggs, cheese, olives, raisins, and many more ingredients. We&#8217;ll tell you in detail a bit further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3\">To know about the origin of the <b>Chilean<\/b> <b>empanada<\/b>, we must cross the Atlantic and go to Spain. According to history, it is part of the culinary heritage of the Arabs who, after abandoning the Hispanic territory, left this recipe there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2021\/07\/empanadas-con-relleno-de-pino-1.jpg\" alt=\"Empanadas with \u201cpino\u201d filling \" class=\"wp-image-84466\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Empanadas with \u201cpino\u201d filling. Photo: [@dona__mia__]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p7\">After the expulsion of the Moors from Spain and Columbus&#8217; arrival to America, the Spanish conquistadors brought the <b>empanada<\/b> recipe to Latin America. Here it was transformed into new local varieties. In Chile, the empanada began to be filled with minced meat, onions, raisins, eggs, and chili peppers, which the Mapuches called &#8220;pirru&#8221;, later evolving into the word<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>&#8220;Pino&#8221;, as we know it today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading p8\">There\u2019s an empanada for everyone\u2019s taste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3\">Although the Spanish introduced empanadas into several Latin American countries, Chile has created its own varieties. <b>Chilean empanadas<\/b> are made with wheat flour, lard and brine for the dough, and then filled with &#8220;pino&#8221;, or cheese, seafood and veggies,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>then fried or cooked in an oven before being served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2021\/07\/empanada-frita-1.jpg\" alt=\"Fried empanada \" class=\"wp-image-84454\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fried empanada. Photo: [@claugalindof]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3\">As for the fillings, the &#8216;<b>empanada <\/b>de pino&#8217; is the most typical, but there is a variant called &#8216;pequ\u00e9n&#8217;, which does not have the pino meat, but it does have the meat juice, abundant onion and chili pepper, and it is cooked over a flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3\">If you ever go to Pomaire, a small town near Santiago, you can try the <b>empanadas<\/b> de &#8220;kilo&#8221; that, as the name suggests, weighs a kilo (2.2 lb). They can be meat or chicken <b>empanadas<\/b> and are cooked in a mud oven. Would you be able to eat the entire kilo of <b>empanada<\/b>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3\">If you don&#8217;t eat meat, no worries, there are more varieties! There are the seafood ones, with crab, oyster, shrimp, clams or razor clams, and cheese. Seafood <b>empanadas<\/b> are usually fried in oil, but there are also baked ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chile-travel-static-content\/2021\/07\/empanadas-de-a-kilo-pomaire-1.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cKilo\u201d empanadas in Pomaire\" class=\"wp-image-84472\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cKilo\u201d empanadas in Pomaire.
