      Yup in my province with use hand cut meat instead of ground beef. My mom used to do it both ways with ground beef and hand cut meat like stew meat but smaller. I like the tuna ones that my grandma used to make for cuaresma (grew up catholic) and the spinach ones. But I moved way up north of the US now and it's hard to find discos and my masa never comes up right. So I gave up in eating empanadas.

      In general Argentinian Empanada dough is more elastic less flaky, (unless is a type of puff pastry for tuna empanadas) never thick like pie dough , we use warm water and beef tallow or lard never suet , in the filling there is a great variety, but usually no garlic .

    I lived in Argentina and learned how to make empanadas from the experts - las abuelas (the grandmas). Que rico! We did both of your methods of sealing plus one other.
    We pinch the curved edge with thumb and index finger both hands and make a z fold. Then pinch it secure and move over a touch. About 4-5 of these along the curved edge does the trick. Place the empanada on your tray with the sealed edge up. Sealing empanadas is an art form.
    When making the filling we also started with the fat, seasoning, and garlic. Cook just until the garlic lightly browns. Immediately add the meat to stop burning the garlic. Careful, garlic turns fast and sudden. As the meat cooks, add the vegetables, then tomato.
    The recipe you shared is what we made in Córdoba, Argentina. Make it sweeter without the vegetables; add raisins to the mix. As you fold them, add a green olive and a wedge of hard boiled egg. This is how they make them in Mendoza. I think this is what your mom described; I couldn’t hear her well.
    I ❤ empanadas. I’ve made them for over 35 years now. Never even thought about the meaning of the word. Thanks. It’s always great to learn something new.

    We have Cornish pasties in UK, very similar recipe and shape but maybe a bit bigger. Ideal lunch packed in an edible casing for farm workers out all day on the land. Some of the earlier ones were savoury at one end and sweet ( apple , fruit etc) at the other . Love these .

      @@mastaniji9225 Anna is right. Meat empanadas have meat (which can be minced or cut with knife in bigger chunks), onions, garlic, different tipes of spices, and some people add potatoes, raisins or olives. Also you have other “flavors”, like chicken, caprese (tomatoes, basil and mozzarella), humita (corn filling), etc.

    I've never tried this type of empanada 🥟 but it looks delicious! In Colombia, we make the dough with cornmeal similar to an arepa and it's very thin to get as crispy as possible when deep fried. Fillings vary but my favorite is just sofrito (sautéed onion and tomato) with potatoes. Serve with a spicy dipping sauce similar to salsa. Thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes! ❤

      I've had many Spanish and Latin friends. One of them is a Columbian vegetarian. Once she and her husband had an "empanada party." (He is not vegetarian.) We all made empanadas together with the fillings they had made in advance. The fillings were a traditional meaty one, and a creamy spinach one. That last one is what I used for myself, and was delicious! That was many years ago, so sadly I don't really remember what else was in it. 😂😁

      I'm in the UK too. I make Cornish pasties and they are similar to these. I've got a set of pasty makers. Just cut a pastry circle out, pop it on top of whichever size you're using, put the filling in the middle and close the two halves. Really quick and easy. I bought them years ago - they were really cheap but so useful. The large one makes a good sized pasty and the little one is great for buffet sized pasties. The middle sized one is great for making apple turnovers or fruit pasties.

    Hey John, I’m a recent subscriber and just wanted to say you’re killing it with these recipes! I’m Spanish and I never make the masa from scratch. It never even occurred to me, I always end up buying the Goya pre made rounds.
    Anyway, thank you for this recipe and you should consider a Peruvian version. We put powdered sugar and lime on top. Might sound a little strange but the combination is perfection!

      That's what I wanted to do too lol. but none of the big stores around me carry them and I'm kind of a homebody so I tend to just either make it from scratch or order it somewhere that delivers lol. How much time this would save me though if I could get the Goya wraps. I'm trying to make this for a potluck with 25 people 😥 my family is from Cuba so I am stuffing mine with picadillo 🤤

    Love your videos. My husband is Cuban born and introduced me to the Empanada. They make a meat filling called Picadillo. They use a pre made dough from the Mercado Latina that are already in disks. After watching your video I think I am brave enough to give making my own Empanada dough a try, and as a change up I will try your meat filling. Keep up the good work.

    John, this recipe was a big hit with our family! Thank you! This was my first time making (eating) ... anything...Mexican (Spanish??) as I have stomach issues (sorry if tmi...lol!) and can't eat anything with spices. It was delicious! I'll definitely be making this recipe again. Oh, somehow I forgot to add the chili powder ( I have no idea how I did that but I did) so I'm looking forward to tasting the empanadas with all the spices added.

    Basically it's a Morrocan Sambusa , a briouat. Especially, the filling with your mum's favourite hits the bull's eye of Morrocan food. Morrocans enjoy using that mixture in their cooking. In Europe, we also call this Spanish food. I think because of the different geography, different names but the same food.

    I am a Virgo (Sep. 5th) as well. This is a very good recipe. Cinnamon and dark chocolate are used in many spanish dishes. My chilli calls for dark chocolate 🍫. It rounds out the flavor and makes the "heat," sneaks up on you
    This is an Aztec recipe. Chocolate 🍫 was like a currency for them. I have a few recipes in that cookbook that features unlikely combinations and use for chocolate in cooking... I put a few pieces in my "Carribean" black bean soup 🍲 .

Here in Argentina we make It a bit different for instance we use meat and onions in equal parts, 1/2 pound of meat/1/2 pound of onions, then some garlic, 1/2 tbs ground pepper. Salt, pepper and very important: CUMIN. And the dough: Flour, salt, butter and water. Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina.

    In the Philippines, either we bake or fry the empanada or we use either butter or oil in making our dough with sugar. Where I grew up, we have two versions : ground pork,potatoes,sweet potatoes,carrots,and raisins with a little sugar, add a quarter of hard boiled egg or half of boiled quail egg when putting in the filling and then fry.The other version is using yukon gold potatoes, ground beef, raisins, and green peas then fried. Me and my sisters prefer the first version and in the far north,we like to eat it with spiced vinegar. When I make the fold ,(I learned this from my uncle when I was a kid), after putting in the filling,I use fork to close it, then use my index fingers to fold from right to left. My left index finger secures the edge while the right index finger folds. With every fold, I use my right index fingernail to add an additional seal. It’s more work maybe but we want to make sure it won’t open up as we fry the empanadas and it will also look like a cute piece of art😁. I enjoy watching your videos because it’s so natural.

    Good evening John. Hope you and your family are doing well. Ty for your delicious recipe, to which I made today. I ended up with 11 and leftover filling. I've added a couple herbs (thyme and parsley). My boyfriend loved this, except for the crust, instead he had a burrito. Either way, its very good. Nice kick to it with the spices and hot sauce. He mentioned about using the same crust recipe for homemade pot pie. Again tyvm for sharing this.
