Argentine empanadas, whether fried or baked, are a classic. Fillings can vary from beef, chicken, ham and cheese, to corn (humita). You can add raisins, eggs, olives, or even a touch of sugar to the filling to taste.

Nothing beats celebrating Flag Day by gathering with friends to enjoy a traditional Argentine asado. Various cuts of meat are slowly cooked on the grill, accompanied by a variety of sauces such as chimichurricriollabarbecue, and spices to enhance the flavors.

Locro is a traditional stew especially prepared during patriotic dates. Made with corn, squash, beans, and various meats, this dish is hearty and flavorful. Adding dried ingredients can further enhance its taste.

Pastelitos filled with quince or sweet potato paste are a typical treat at parades and national festivals. Fried and crispy, they are the perfect companion for mate.
