About Brazilian spinach ricotta empanada
Brazilian Spinach Ricotta Empanadas are a delicious pastry rooted in South American cuisine, inspired by Brazil's rich culinary traditions. These golden, hand-held pockets are made with a flaky, savory dough and stuffed with a vibrant filling of finely chopped spinach, creamy ricotta cheese, and aromatic spices. The spinach provides a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like iron and calcium, while the ricotta contributes protein and calcium for bone health. These empanadas offer a satisfying balance of nutrients, though their buttery dough can be higher in fat. Perfect for snacking or as an appetizer, they showcase wholesome ingredients and moderate indulgence, making them a flavorful, nutrient-packed option in moderation.
