Delicious empanadas with different types of stuffing, roasted strip, aji de gallina and corn with cheese. The empanada derives from the verb "empanar", which is the action of enclosing something in a dough or bread to bake in the oven, or breadcrumbs with a food to fry it. It is very difficult to specify the time and the place in which that food originated, but it is to be supposed that it has a long antiquity almost as remote as bread. Some want to situate their origin in Mesopotamia, in what is now Iraq, as attested by the oldest book of written recipes known. It dates from 1700 before our era. It is written in cuneiform characters on a clay tablet that is preserved at Yale University in the United States. It was deciphered by the archaeologist Jean Bottéro. In this text a preparation appears that can be considered as the ancestor of the baked pie and that consists of two layers of bread dough between which a stew of birds was placed. https://www.instagram.com/chef.lan.thorne/ #empanada #ajidegallina #chocloconqueso #appetizzer #piqueo #cairo #delicious #recipe #yummy #cook #desserts #comidaperuana #peruvianfood #latina #chef #foodie #foodtaste (en Cairo, Egypt) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaosiBAfKd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mefc6jo6vk3w
