Beef Empanadas with Sofrito Sauce Recipe on Food52
"Empanadas are wonderful magical meat pockets. Surrounded by a crust and baked or fried to crispy perfection. They are traditionally from the southern hemisphere and can vary in size, taste, texture and spiciness. While some countries make empanadas with corn meal in the dough, others use flour as a base for their dough. The meat filling can range from beef to pork to additions of boiled egg, olives, cabbage or capers. Where ever you find these beauties...they are always sure to please!..."
