Bob’s take on Traditional Empanada

I love these little treats so much, I decided to make them again, and repost this post below. Enjoy! ---------------------------------- This past weekend we went to a wine tasting party where the hosts open about 20 bottles of Malbec. When I received the invite, it stated, we’ll provide the wine, you bring your favorite appetizer. What better to go with Malbec, than Empanadas. Below are a few types I have made. In addition to these recipes I have included some information about how to wrap them and some of the more traditional closures. There is no wrong way to make an Empanada. In many South American count'ries these are street food, and vary from vendor to vendor. You can add ANYTHING you want to the filling. In the past we have had a corn mixture, cheese, as well as Apple and Bananas.
