Abrams’ new, gloriously colorful, unique, and exciting new book Filipinx, Heritage Recipes from the Diaspora, by Angela Dimayuga and Ligaya Mishan is where this fabulous recipe from empanadas came from. This is the first time that I have ever made empanadas that both looked and tasted restaurant quality. I cut the recipe in half, but was sorry later, figuring that I could have frozen them before frying and pulled them out whenever I was in the mood for a bite or two of delicious, authentic ethnic food.
I’m not going to lie, this recipe takes time,
but your efforts will be well rewarded in the fabulous taste.
