   💡 Tip: Empanadas de Carne are THE Argentine classic — stuffed pastry pockets filled with seasoned ground beef (picadillo), baked or fried. Hearty and spiced. A street food and festive dish, with regional variations.

2. 2

   Mix the ground beef filling with chopped hard-boiled egg, olives, scallions, and raisins (depending on the region). Let cool.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: The seasoned ground beef filling (picadillo) with hard-boiled egg, olives, and (regionally) raisins is characteristic. Cumin and paprika are essential. Season the filling well and let it cool.

3. 3

   Place the filling on pastry discs (tapas), fold into half-moons, and seal the edges decoratively (repulgue). Bake at 200 °C for 20–25 minutes until golden brown (or deep-fry).

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Empanadas de Carne are served warm as street food, a starter, or a main course — the stuffed pastry pockets with spiced ground beef. Serve with chimichurri. Every Argentine region has its own variation (Salta, Tucumán, etc.).
