Исходное описание на английском языке. Русский перевод ещё не добавлен.

Empanada de atún is a savory pie filled with tuna, which is combined with sautéed onions, peppers, tomato sauce, and sometimes hard-boiled eggs or green olives. It is especially popular in Galicia, where large empanadas are baked and then cut into portions, but versions of this dish can be found throughout Spain. The filling typically uses canned tuna in olive oil, combined with a sofrito-style vegetable base that brings richness and depth of flavor. The dough varies by region and preference—while traditional versions use puff pastry for a flaky texture, others are made with yeasted dough or shortcrust pastry, which yield a more rustic, hearty crust. In some areas, the dough is enriched with olive oil or wine, contributing to its tenderness. Empanada de atún can be prepared as a large pie and sliced for serving or shaped into individual hand pies, either baked or fried. In this form, they are especially common at parties, festivals, and family gatherings, and frequently appear as part of a tapas spread in bars.
