empanadas.

Hello!  For our pumpkin carving party this year, I wanted to keep the meal relatively simple, casual & easy to snack while watching the Giants & carving pumpkins.  So I had everyone bring their favorite autumnal dish.  I decided to try out empanadas.  I made 4 types...about 75-100 of these little guys.  All while Nick was bottling his first beer...let me tell you how hectic that was.  The hit was the prosciutto & gruyere cheese, but I also made goat cheese & peppers, potatoes & chorizo and a spicy harissa beef.  See below for links to recipes and photos of the process. 






sorry, I forgot to take a photo of the finished product.  after filling & crimping, you brush with an egg wash and bake.  you can also deep fry but that is messy.
