Empanadas have a long history in Argentina and each region of the country has its own take or special recipe. In Mendoza, empanadas are baked instead of fried and a typical filling is made with seasoned ground beef, a slice of green olive and a slice of hard-boiled egg. But whatever the specific recipe we can all agree that this traditional Argentine staple is delicious!

At Alpasión we happen to believe that the empanadas made by our resident chef, Hector Ordenes, are particularly delicious. In fact, Hector’s empanadas are so special we invite our guests to not only eat them but also to make them. In this class Hector will walk you through the process of making an authentic Mendoza-style empanada and will share his secrets along the way.
