 A Chilean pastry - Empanadas


I love empanadas. Mum used to make them with lots of chopped meat, fresh chopped white onions and some spices. Her speciality was a soft dough and an steady oven. After visiting Europe, I tried several 'empanadas' styles from different backgrounds…I got an Algerian one and a French one and others. 



In the UK they called them 'pastry' and add parnish plus lamb; really delicious! In Colombia they add some potatoes and peas…their dough is made out of yellow corn…a delicatessen! In Edinburg I tried an Indian  samosa, again they come with lots of peas and curry!



In general, I can really say that empanadas are very a versatile food. You can eat it on the go, at home, taking them for a picnic with friends or simply going to the nearer supermarket and get some…however, I still miss my mum's empanadas, they are the best ever!
