Empadão

Empadão is a traditional Portuguese dish,^[1] also popular in Brazil. It is a preparation made on an oven that can contain red meat, chicken,^[2] tuna,^[3] codfish^[4] and seafood between layers of mashed potato, rice,^[5] bread^[6] or inside of wheat flour pasta,^[7] although the ground meat-mashed potatoes version is the more traditionally used,^[1] similar to the English Shepherd's pie.

Empadão

The filling consists usually of a refogado of red ground/sliced meat or codfish with onion and garlic. Tomato, mushrooms, sweet corn, green peas and requeijão are also used.^[8] In one recipe, Empadão is made using only pão ralado (ground bread) and eggs as a filling which is then cooked on the oven like a pudding.^[9]

Olives are also used as a topping.
