Recipe of Squid and meat filling dumplings

Vida Recetas Editorial

The empanada is one of the most versatile dishes in Mediterranean cuisine, and these squid and meat filling dumplings are a juicy, flavorful version that the whole family will love. Originating from the tradition of combining ingredients from sea and land, this recipe blends Indian squid, mixed ground meat, mussels, and an exotic touch of ginger and soy sauce, creating a unique filling wrapped in crispy pastry discs.

Ideal as an appetizer, starter, or even a main course served with a salad, these dumplings are perfect for gatherings and celebrations. They are easy to make: prepare a stir-fry with onion, leek, zucchini, and ramallet tomato, add the meat and squid, and finish with pine nuts and spices like sweet smoked paprika and dried fennel. Then fill the pastry discs, seal them with a fork, and bake until golden.

The result is a crispy pastry with a savory, juicy interior. Serve them hot or warm, perfect for dipping in sauces like aioli or mayonnaise. If you're looking for a different and surprising empanada recipe, this is the one.
