Empanada Gallega de Atún is a staple of Galician home cooking, where it graces tables frequently enough that recipes are scarcely needed. In Galicia, this savory pie is part of everyday life, a dish so familiar that its preparation becomes second nature. It embodies the rustic charm of the region, with each family adding its own touch to this beloved classic. Cut through the crisp, golden crust to reveal a generous filling of tuna, sweet onions, and peppers, all lifted by the gentle smokiness of pimentón.
