  • I have been making empanadas for many years. This is my take on a classic meat version. The dough is light and flaky & the filling is a little spicy.

    tell me about your best empanada experience.

    • @thejuanchomv
      @thejuanchomv 3 года назад +2

      My personal favorite for meat is slow-cooked rump that can be shred with two forks. I like adding chopped bell peppers cooked together with the onions.
      For spices I like to add cummin, and paprika, never thought of tomato paste before.
      My grandma lets the filling overnight, onions separate from meat, on a 1:1 ratio (1lb of onions per 1lb of meat).
      Also for the adventurous, you can replace olives with raisins.
      For interior moisture I use water (maybe I'm just cheap, but I like leaving the egg wash for the exterior). I try to eat midly healthy so most of my empanadas are oven-cooked and the egg wash gives them a nicer color.
      A fancy way of crimping is by doing a little twist-press-repeat.
      Finally if you're ever in Argentina, do not miss out on cheese empanadas (ham &cheese, cheese& onions, caprese,etc).
      Cheers!

    Here in Argentina, empanadas are a daily treat pretty much. The meat ones are very similar to yours, except for the chili and they tend to add cumin instead. Some add in chopped egg and raisins. Other popular fillings are ham & cheese, hominy cream corn, chicken, and even caprese ones with cheese, basil and tomato. Another meat option is to use cut or shredded steak instead of ground beef.

  • @DiegoAndrade-ig1qs

    Were I come from, Bolivia, there is a type of empanada called Salteña, which usually has a sweet dough and also a sweet juicy filling. The dough is similar to a pie crust, in the sense that it is made with fat (lard) and it's orange colored by achiote. The filling is very similar to the one you did though it has diced potatoes and vetch (also raisins or sugar for the sweet taste). It is cooked with beef feet so when it's cooled it's gelatinated. Then baked and you have a sweet orange juicy Bolivian Salteña!
    Cheers Chef Frank!

    My mom used to cook for me and my brother empanadas during our childhood, i don't remember how she did the pastry, i think it was with just lard, flour and water. The filling was beef onions and potatoes. Nowadays she doesn't do them anymore since now me and my brother do the cooking but i do remember it being a special occasion meal, not because of a date or anything but because she used to work most of the time and she rarely had time for such elaborate meals or for cooking at all, so whenever we got to eat empanadas was a special day

    They look great! In Brazil we call these "pastel". Instead of the red wine vinegar, traditionally cachaça "Brazilian rum" is added to the dough, but it serves the same purpose, and instead of butter, lard is used. Not that anyone makes the dough at home, the pastelarias sell them usually, and they're so easily availabe it's not even worth the effort hahaha.

    OH, and for the dough, usually it's corn flour, do it by hand with a tortilla press and fry them

    Here in venezuela, empanadas are usually made with corn flour, filled with cheese, jam, pulled beef, chicken, and the ones made with wheat flour are called Pastelitos, which tend to be filled the with the same fillings. I used to only like corn empanadas filled with cheese, as i grew up i started liking the pullet beef ones. My mom wasn't a big empanada maker, but my non-biological grandmother is from Chile and she always made us wheat empanadas when she came, both baked and deep fried.

    Tried once to make empanada dough and was not happy with the result, will surely try your recipe. My version of filling, however, was great. It is from an Argentinian restaurant (got it from a magazine) and it's very moist as some meat stock is added. The beef is cut in tiny pieces, not grounded, and cooked (sauted?) in butter. No pork. Onion and chives, salt, pepper, paprika and cumin. Olives and crumbled hard boiled egg are added to the filling.

    I lived in Argentina for 3 years - I make beef empanadas often. I was taught to start off with equal amount of diced onion to ground meat. Cook them together with all your spices (similar to yours except the Argentines would not use any chipotle, and I don't use tomato paste either) without adding any oil. Cook until the water from the onions & beef is mostly gone. Then add diced potato, and optionally green olives and/or raisins. Cook until the potato is cooked but not mushy. Mix in diced hard boiled eggs. Fried is most delicious, but if you bake them make sure to top them with egg wash first. (Some Argentines sprinkle them with sugar when fresh out of the fry too) I really enjoyed this video!!! Well done Chef!!!!

      Well done Sabrina! I'm from Argentina and I was about to write a comment, however, yours summarize pretty much the best recipe for an Argentinean empanada (no tomato paste, no chipotle, and add cumin). Another great tip is our grannies fried them in lard and never strain the juice (as Frank did) that's not necessary because the filling has to cool down before you make the empanadas and once is fried up, it needs to be enjoyed right away (like a dumpling). Juicy and full of delicious flavor. Cheers to Fran and you, Sabrina, from Argentina. Fede

    I have always made them with a different stuffing. This is the way we spaniards enjoy them usually:
    Bonito,tuna or mackerel,it may be canned.
    Fried tomato sauce(fresh pear tomato or any bright red and savory variety,onion,garlic and green pepper with a bay leaf and extra virgin olive oil)
    Some people use hard boiled eggs too, finely diced.
    You can deepfry the empanadillas or bake them in the oven with an eggwash to make them look better, but I like them most fried.

They're delicious! And different from the flour like empanadas.

    If you cut the plastic deli container out just below the rim, you will have a sharper edge cutter that's the right size and you can reuse it. It will be faster, and you can manually distort it to cut edge pies that are slightly misshapen but the same area and symmetrical, that might save you having to reroll the dough.

    Sorry for the barrage of questions. So many comments/questions, so little time, lol. 😋
    Not for me. I understand the answers, but for newly appointed quasi-home chefs due to the ick?
    Why did you not use a whisk or a fork to mix the dry?
    Why not use the whole 2 eggs?
    Will any vinegar sub out? If not, why not? If so, which ones to sub or avoid, and why?
    I know, but might want to give further options/explanations without getting too detailed, as you have that amazing gift of stage presence and of teaching.
    Why not use a neutral oil, like canola or ?
    Why not cook the meat all together? I know. Separation of flavors, but for others who may not have sophisticated palates, you know?
    The little red thing in the green olives? Pimentos, can buy them separately, in a jar.
    I understand, but for the newbies to being home chefs and/or professional Chefs alike, who follow you?
    Fantastic mis en place! Sorry, Chef. Couldn't find an emoji for bowing down, lol.
    Might want to explain that along the way - and the importance of why, lol!
    Toss in a few tips along the way about sanitizing various cutting boards, kitchen tools, etc. (especially w the ick).
    Used to be 3 tbsp of bleach per 1 gallon of water.
    Now? They're saying 1/3 cups of bleach per gallon of water to sterilize things...
    Google/study it and report back on a separate vlog?
    Love you.
    Thanks so much for your vlogs, from a huge fan somewhere near Seattle.

    In Argentina we usually just use ground beef instead of blend. But aside that it’s pretty much the same. You should try empanadas árabes (they probably have another name)

  • @kserwin

    I tend to make my dough with masa harina, cold cubes of butter, eggs and milk. I find it produces a very, very flaky and crispy dough, a bit like a puff pastry in a way. For my filling I've always liked beef or chicken and often cheese in there as well. Really need to make sure it's crimped well so the cheese doesn't go into the deep fryer though! Typically I don't even let my dough rest either, as I find it works well without it. I do however let the shaped and filled empanadas rest for a time so they can firm up. As a note, I'm Danish but I spent some time working at a restaurant with Latin American cuisine in Denmark, which is where I learned how to make them, and they're one of my favourite things to make!

    Nice empanadas chef Frank!
    In Chile we use white wine instead of vinegar, another difference is that we used pork fat instead of butter (sometimes 50/50 it will depend on the family recipe), also good tip of letting the filling rest on the fridge, here we let it rest over the night in the fridge. although we called this type of empanadas like "empanadas de pino" and we add to the filling boiled eggs, olives and raisins.
    Greets from Chile!

    This is somewhat similar to a Malaysian tradisional food 'Karipap'
    Its traditionally filled with malay curry and with whatever filling, most commonly chicken and potatoes.
    Its also fried and veRY delicous! Its flaky and we get it all over, the filling tends to be sweet and spicy😋

    I been told every Central and South American country has their own version of empanadas, I am not associated with the place in any way, just a very satisfied customer but Sabor A Cafe on north side of Chicago has the best empanadas I have had, hands down, empanadas themselves are 5 stars, don’t think they use regular wheat flour as texture different, semi cornbread if I had to guess. They not tortillas. My favorites are beef, taste very barbacoa style. You get this side of light and creamy salsa which contrasts great with the deep fried, beefy taste. I always ask for double the salsa and I used it on beef, chicken, pork, fish and it works great on everything.

    Frank you're awesome, I literally just made empanadas last weekend based on my abuelita's (grandma's) recipe. While mine wasn't spicy, I add guava paste to the empanada to add a more savory sweet texture Also instead of tomato paste, I use tomato sauce and some sofrito :)

    That looks more like a Brazilian pastel Chef Frank. Which is good, because I am Brazilian, and your recipe was very good. The empanadas I've tasted so far were baked and they use that technique of "shirr" to close it, kind like an Asian dumpling or mandu. Difference is that you made the home made version of our pastel: Full of filling, no air inside. The commercial version is the opposite: Almost no meat, full of air, the fried dough is the star. Nice. Eat those with Tabasco sauce!

    • @guilhermeyamamoto5725
      @guilhermeyamamoto5725 2 года назад +1

      @@ProtoCookswithChefFrank Traditionally minced beef, no pork, stir fried like you did, or mozzarella cheese or "pizza" flavor: Ham, mozzarella, one slice of tomato, oregano. I would say you can find these 3 flavors at the most basic street markets. But nowadays they put everything and mix. Another thing common there, and you should know as also being an Italian descendant, is the fogazza. You can go to fogazza or pastel street food places and choose like 3 fillings, out of 25 options. Mix whatever you want and they just fry it for you.

    In pies and empanadas, use vodka. It has almost twice the ph value and is flavorless, so works even better to prevent the gluten from developing. In addition it evaporates quicker at heat so there is less total moisture, which means flakier crusts!

    I've never seen that vinegar trick before, that's an interesting idea. I'm guessing that for the same reason it works here, it wouldn't be great for something like a pizza dough where gluten development is one of the goals?
