Cómo hacer Empanadas Salteñas

Por qué empezar aquí

Empanadas salteñas are the northern beef empanada: potato in the filling, a jugosito (juicy) stew, and often a bake so hot the first bite runs. They are not the drier porteño style.

Hailing from the northern region of Salta, empanadas salteñas are a beloved staple in Argentinian cuisine. Unlike their drier porteño counterparts, these empanadas are enjoyed for their juicy, stew-like filling. Typically filled with tender beef and potatoes, they make a comforting meal that is enjoyed both in bustling markets and at family tables, especially during local festivals and gatherings. The hallmark of empanadas salteñas is their jugosito nature, where the savory filling bursts with flavor, thanks to a blend of cumin and paprika. The soft potatoes and tender beef create a delightful contrast to the crisp, golden pastry. Traditionally, they're eaten standing, with a plate in hand to catch any escaping juices—a practice that ensures you savor every last drop of this northern delicacy.
