Pay attention: this is not Spanish, but Sardinian! “Panadas” are mini savory pies traditionally stuffed with eel and potatoes that belong to the large recipe book of many places in beautiful Sardinia.
The temptation to make them was literally devouring me, so I decided to – humbly – try making my own version with artichokes, ground beef and dried tomatoes.
Sure: the shape is not perfect, but I assure you that they are delicious!
