Colombian empanadas, filled with a divine pork stuffing, deep fried, and served immediately with pique (onions, cilantro, garlic, vinegar) and limes.

In this previous post you will see a Flickr Flash slideshow on how Colombian empanadas are made!

The directions you see in this post can also be sourced by clicking on these images, the images in the flash show, and also by going to the flickr page for that step.

Enjoy!

Empanada Step 1 - Stock: Step 1

The meat we use here is a pork butt. Cut it up and put in stock pot. Remove the skin and fat to be used for chicharrones.

Empanada Step 2 - Stock: Step 2

Garlic and onions are diced and added to the stock pot.
