Meat pasty filling
When it comes to oven-baked meat pasties, we can’t help but ask: what is the best meat for oven-baked pasties?
We will always recommend that a trusted butcher offers the best option based on the recipe, although in our opinion, veal shank and veal shoulder are a good choice. However, you can also use minced pork, a mixture of veal and pork, or minced chicken.
It is also true that, thanks to our dry-ageing cabinets, you can obtain a piece with great culinary qualities and freshness at the very moment you get down to work with the recipe thanks to the precise cold, humidity and ventilation conditions that soften its texture while concentrating its flavour.
Let your guests enjoy the minced meat pasty recipe the way they deserve!
Types of oven-baked pasties
The pasty is a typical dish from various cuisines around the world that can be enjoyed in different ways. Whether freshly baked, warm or cold, this dish, which can also be eaten as a side, will be sure to impress everyone.
All over the world there are different recipes for filled pasties: meat pasties, chicken pasties, tuna pasties, vegetarian pasties, ham and cheese pasties… Depending on the country, they may have different ingredients and sizes, from the typical Galician empanada to Argentinian empanadillas, Italian calzone or Japanese gyozas.
Empanadas in Spanish gastronomy
When we talk about Spanish gastronomy and homemade pasties, the delicious Galician empanada comes to mind.
Whether it contains fish, meat, seafood or vegetables, the multiple combinations that can be found will impress everyone, as there is a recipe for every taste or food preference.
The most typical pasty is the minced meat, the same recipe we have presented today in this blog post. A succulent dish that is full of flavour.
Argentinian empanadillas
When we talk about Argentinian empanadas, we are talking about tasty morsels that will delight anyone. It seems that this recipe arrived in Argentina via Spanish immigrants, who adapted their homemade pasty recipes to their new life overseas.
That is why there is a wide variety of empanadilla recipes in Argentina today, which can be either baked or fried, and whose dough is generally made with flour, fat, salt and water. Traditional recipes include the empanada salteña, made of meat, egg, onion and potato; the empanada tucumana, which is the same as the previous one, but without potato; as well as the traditional ham and cheese or vegetable.
Colombian empanadas
Colombian empanadas have a Spanish and African influence due to the country’s history.
A fried dough made of corn or wheat flour is usually wrapped around a filling made of different combinations of ingredients such as meat, chicken, potato, rice, egg or vegetables, and they are usually served with lime, guacamole or chilli, among other sauces.
Venezuelan empanadas
The origin of the Venezuelan empanada can also be found in Spanish gastronomy, mainly in Galicia.
The list of possible fillings for the dough, which is mainly fried and made from corn flour and, occasionally, wheat flour, is extensive. The inside can have minced or shredded meat, dogfish, pork rinds, vegetables, cheese and even sweet pasties with guava or banana.
Mexican empanadas
Unlike the previous homemade empanadas made in Latin American countries, Mexican empanadas have their origins in English gastronomy, specifically in the meat and potato filled pasty.
The evolution of the recipe over the last two centuries has given rise to the pasty, a shortcrust pastry filled with meat and potato to which the typical Mexican spice has been added, as well as creating another variant: the beans and chorizo pasty.
On the other hand, we still see the traditional empanadas in Mexico, filled with a wide variety of ingredients from the typical mole (Mexican sauce usually made from fruits, nuts, chilli peppers and spices) to rice pudding.
