The Art of Crafting the Best Empanadas Brooklyn Has to Offer: A Healthy Colombian Tradition When exploring Colombian cuisine, there’s one dish that stands out as a must-try: the iconic empanada. At Palenque NYC, we’ve perfected what many now call the best empanadas Brooklyn food lovers can find—a harmonious blend of artisanal craftsmanship and health-conscious innovation. These golden, crispy triangles aren’t just delicious; they represent generations of culinary wisdom reimagined for modern wellness.A Legacy Wrapped in Dough
Empanadas trace their roots to Spain but were transformed in Colombia into a cultural staple. What makes ours the best empanadas Brooklyn connoisseurs crave is how we honor this history while elevating it. Our abuelas (grandmothers) taught us that true empanadas begin with patience—kneading the dough until it reaches the ideal elasticity, then resting it to develop flavor and texture. Unlike mass-produced versions, each of our empanadas is still shaped by hand, ensuring that distinctive triangular fold that traps flavors perfectly.The Artisan Process: From Dough to Golden Perfection
-
Handmade with Purpose
Every batch starts with our signature gluten-free dough—a nutrient-dense blend of ancient grains stone-ground to preserve their goodness. But the magic lies in the technique:
- The dough is rolled to precisely 3mm thickness (any thicker, and it loses crispness; any thinner, and it can’t hold the filling)
- Each triangle is folded using the "repulgue" method, creating those characteristic ridges that crisp beautifully
- The Sacred Fry We use avocado oil for its high smoke point and heart-healthy fats. The empanadas take a ceremonial dip at exactly 375°F—hot enough to seal the crust instantly (locking in moisture) but not so hot that the oil penetrates. This artisan approach is why ours are the best empanadas Brooklyn health enthusiasts recommend—lighter yet still satisfyingly crunchy.
- The Steam Dance For baked versions, we employ a trick from Andean bakeries: a quick steam bath before baking. This keeps the dough tender inside while achieving an irresistible outer crispness.
