An easy and yummy treat
Recently, I made meat-filled empanadas, using a Cuban recipe. I was surprised at the ease of creating these very tasty handheld treats.
The ease and timing of preparing empanadas allows for oodles of time for last minute accompaniments. The filling, I made a picadillo (meat) filling, can be prepared a day or two before serving and the empanadas can be put together and baked a day before serving.
You do not need to be a bread baker to make the empanada dough. It is quite easy and does not rely on that “touch” bread baking requires.
The recipe I used, and will use again, is found at https://letseatcuban.com/cuban-empanadas-recipe/.
Add a good salad, some rice and you will have a fun, filling and food meal.
Enjoy!
