Empadão

Empadão is a traditional Portuguese dish,[1] also popular in Brazil. It is a preparation made on a 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 tradicionally used,[1] similar to the English Shepherd's pie.

Empadão

The filling is usually done by doing 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.
