Overview
- Argentine outlets, which published fresh Good Friday pieces Friday, pushed canned tuna or mackerel and a homemade “falso hojaldre” pastry to cut costs.
- Standard recipes still feature salted cod that is soaked for about 24 hours, then boiled, flaked, and mixed into a simple onion and garlic sofrito.
- Guides agree on timing, with ovens set around 180–200°C and bakes of 15–25 minutes within a total prep of roughly 1 hour 20 minutes.
- The dish fits Catholic Good Friday abstinence from red meat and reflects Spanish roots that many Argentine families adapt at home.
- Some outlets point readers to a Cookpad step‑by‑step for low‑cost caballa empanadas, with optional touches like raisins or parsley.
