The concept of filling a Valencian pepito with the typical filling of an Argentinean empanada sounds delicious and very creative. For those of you who are not familiar:
- Pepito ValencianoTraditionally, it is a Spanish sandwich that is prepared with French bread or baguette and can have ingredients such as grilled or roasted meat, cheese, and other garnishes.
- Empanada ArgentinaThey are famous for their variety of fillings, which can include knife-cut meat, chicken, ham and cheese, or even more gourmet versions with toppings such as caramelised onions, blue cheese, and walnuts.
The result is a pepito with a juicy and flavoursome Argentinean empanada filling, with minced meat seasoned with cumin, paprika and other seasonings, olives, chopped hard-boiled eggs and onions, all wrapped in a crusty bread. This deliciously fuses two culinary traditions, providing both texture and a rich mosaic of flavours.
