[...] One of our staples in Colombia, costing roughly around 80 cents. Â These delicious fritters are made with shredded pork or beef, but can find them stuffed with a cheese and potato mixture. Even on the street, they are served with aji (chili sauce) and lime wedges on the side.In Colombia you can find Â empanadas sold everywhere, from street vendors in parks to stands outside of the churches. Â We admit to eating these tasty fritters at least 2 or 3 times a week, and felt not a tinge of guilt about doing so. (Miro even had a crazy dream about Â empanadas, posted here.) I found this great recipe on making empanadas here. [...]

Hi and thanks for the recipe. I have had an empanada jones for a long time, but because of Celiac disease have not been able to satisfy this. Now I can!
QUESTION: I was confused by the first ingredients called for in the first part of the recipe.

* 1 lb of lean pork meat (1 lb of dark turkey thigh meat, or a turkey roast that has mostly dark meat in it) two large red potatoes (all grouped together)

Do I use all of this for one recipe or are these either or, for example I can choose to use pork OR turkey OR potatoes?? Or I use all three for this one recipe?

I want to try this soon if I can find the right harina,

Hi, I’m so glad that I found you blog. My husband is half Columbian and I’m Chinese. He keep saying how much he missed the Columbian empanadas, I have never been to Columbia, so I dont know what it taste like. After I go through the recipes……it’s a bit like the Chinese dumpling( the shape and stuffing), but we boiled not deep fried.

We live in Hong Kong and we don’t have any Latino food store here, the only “masa-harina” that I can find here is “Bob’s Red Mill” . Is this ok to use?

Thanks

Nika, I found it really difficult to find mas harina but i did find it, however You are saying to use masarepa, is it quite easy to find and are the benefits from using masarepa rather than masa harina?

Cheers

Nika,

Colombian style red beans.

Andres: No do not use the masa harina – you have to use the masarepa (precocida)

I have never tried to order via web to the UK or here for that matter so I do not have any recommendations!
