If there is a food that gives Argentine identity to any menu, it is the empanada. Creole food par excellence and each province has its version because, at the time, the fillings were made with the products that were most easily accessible. For this reason, in addition to the beef ones, it is possible to find versions with fish and the most varied accompaniments, from potatoes to olives, including raisins or bell peppers.
For this reason, just as when a foreigner sets foot on Argentine soil he asks to try the meat or the roast, it also became an attraction to taste the empanada. The one who made her own version of this historic preparation is the American actress Jennifer Garner, who shared with her more than 15 million followers on social networks a video in which she detailed the step by step of this little delicacy.
Beyond dedicating herself only to the filling, also helped by different kitchen implements, she made the dough discs at home, for which she used flour, sugar, salt, fat or butter and ice water. When it came to the filling, she went for almost lean ground beef, plus onion, tomato extract, garlic, oregano, cumin, cloves, pepper, beef broth, grated cheese, a pinch of sugar, and a I beaten egg.
“This is my best friend, the paddle accessory, and my closest relative, the dough hook,” the actress began by detailing by showing the camera the different implements of her mixer, while she was in a very good mood, dancing, and ready to prepare the bun that would later lead to the empanada discs as the final result.
Following step by step the recipe that he had neatly written on an equally clean counter, he explained that the dough should not be worked too much, and then following balling it, dividing it and letting it rest wrapped in film while he dedicated himself to the filling: “It doesn’t matter how much space “No matter what allowance I have, I’m always working on things,” he acknowledged in the middle of the spacious environment.
At the time of making the filling, he explained that he was making a large quantity since the preparation would serve not only for that dinner, but for a few more days, in addition to being part of the meals of his three children as a result of his relationship with him. actor Ben Affleck, whom she divorced in 2017.
“I’m also going to make a shredded chicken option, and I’ve been saving this tip for you: you can shred chicken in a processor,” he revealed when continuing to show his kitchen implements, in a video that has already exceeded a million and a half. of visits since its publication in March of last year, but in the last few hours it began to go viral on social networks.
At the time of assembly, he explained: “Fill, seal and shape the empanadas using approximately 1 tablespoon of cold filling. Crimp the edges with a fork and brush the top with beaten egg.” Without a doubt, the issue of repulgue is not something to worry regarding, since he directly used the fork technique, which must be remembered that if used incorrectly, it can cut the dough.

The origin of the empanada
“They arrive here thanks to the Spanish, since in Spain empanadas are ancient, and they did not necessarily appear there thanks to the Arabs, but when the Arabs arrived in Spain they brought their own and that is why there is an enormous mix of cultures.” expressed Carina Perticone, semiologist and researcher in the history of food cultures in Argentina, in a talk with Infobae.
“The oldest record that I found in Argentina is from 1769 in Córdoba, but there are undoubtedly previous ones, it’s just that there has not yet been a deep investigation into archives from the 17th century,” said the writer of Cocina, cuisine y arte. “It’s not that the empanada was made of meat and the rest were an exception: there were empanadas made of meat, cheese, vegetables, sweets, of course the meat one was the most common, but because it is what was consumed the most here, It was what there was the most, the meat was cheap and was chopped with a knife with a special blade that was precisely called a meat chopping blade,” he clarified.
