An authentic empanada recipe from the web log of Rebecca Caro, From Argentina With Love.
Although I’m a big fan of authentic empanadas with handshaped edges in a spiral pattern, I sometimes use an empanada press, or dough press.
The secret of a good empanada is the dough. That’s the first thing you will taste when taking a bite.
The first location opened last week (August 2008) in Morningside Heights, with two more apparently on the way in Chelsea and Midtown. While you can find some damn good empanadas here and there in Caribbean and Latin American neighborhoods, they’re surprisingly few and far between in the city.
The offerings at Empanada Joes’s go beyond your usual chicken and beef empanadas, with specials like rojo pulled pork, dolce sausage and peppers and Mediterranean caprese. They even have chocolate and banana or pina colada empanadas for dessert.

It’s a fact that Colombia always has been a big contributor to the development of salsa music. For years, formations such as Fruko y su Tesos, Niche, Guayacan and Sonora Carruseles have been contributing to a distinctive, recognizable sound that is easy to listen to.
But salsa music keeps on developing. Bogota, Colombia, is on the way to distinguish itself and responds to the desire to create a sound which touches your soul. Call it rough, or unpolished and hard, or just call it “Salsa Callejera”.
When I was travelling in Costa Rica with my girlfriend a couple of years ago I realy fell in love with this dish. This is a typical Costa Rican dish you can eat as breakfust, lunch or diner. Well to be honest, it didn’t matter what time of the day it was, I just ate it.
Back home I thought this would be a nice dish to complement empanadas. So now, when serving empanadas on parties, I also serve some Gallo Pinto as a side dish. As an extra you can even serve some fried plantains with it.
Again a simple recipe for empanda dough. By adding sugar the dough will have a sweet taste that contrasts perfectly with savory fillings. Empanada dough has a tender texture that soaks up the flavor of the filling. It takes about a half an hour to make and an hour of rest in the fridge. This recipe makes enough dough for 10 to 12 5-inch empanadas.
