THE ORIGIN OF THE FAMOUS ARGENTINE EMPANADAS
When we think of an exquisite appetizer, it is impossible not to think of a wonderful Argentinian empanada with a chimichurri sauce. And the fact is that this dish has gained popularity over the years for its diverse fillings since it adapts to any palate.
A curious fact about these delicious snacks is that they did not originate in Argentina. Their genesis goes back to ancient Mesopotamia and they are almost as ancient as bread. They arrived in Europe, particularly in Spain, by the hand of the Moors who carried them in their saddlebags as a snack, and at the time they were a practical way of carrying food, which once cooked usually lasted for several days.
The Spaniards introduced empanadas to America where other ways of preparing them gradually emerged. Particularly, the Argentines were in charge of turning them into a totally regional symbol, which after the barbeque, the empanada criolla is the typical dish of this country.
In La Vicenta, you can find the best Argentinian empanadas in Mexico that are prepared on the spot so you can enjoy this delicacy bite by bite that will leave you speechless.
