Portuguese empadão is a traditional dish from Portugal that typically consists of a pie or casserole made with layers of mashed potatoes, meat (usually chicken or beef), vegetables (such as carrots, peas, and onions), and sometimes cheese.
The preparation of empadão can vary depending on the region and the recipe, but in general, the meat and vegetables are cooked together with spices and seasonings before being layered into a baking dish with mashed potatoes. Cheese may be added as a final layer before the dish is baked until golden brown.
Empadão is a popular dish in Portugal, often served for special occasions and family gatherings. It is also commonly found in Portuguese cuisine restaurants around the world.
