Well, we don't make these, strictly. Our lovely Argentinian friend Mariana does and once we discovered her empanadas, made exactly as we make them ourselves, we hung up our empanada hats for good. She differs from us in that she uses a sour cream pastry - traditionally they would be made with lard - but the filling is made to our original recipe. She cooks free-range chicken thigh fillets with onion, garlic and chorizo before adding smokey paprika, tomato paste and tomatoes. She then simmers the mixture until thick and tender before chilling and wrapping in pastry.
Wheat flour, sour cream, free-range chicken thigh, chorizo, onion, garlic, tomato, coriander, green olives, canola oil, iodised salt.
