Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender, or pinching into small pieces using your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use a fork to stir in water a few tablespoons at a time, until the mixture forms a ball. Pat into a ball, and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender. Crumble in the beef, and season with salt, paprika, cumin and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until beef is browned. Drain excess grease, and stir in the raisins and vinegar. Refrigerate until chilled, then stir in the hard-cooked eggs.
- Form the dough into 2 inch balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball out into a thin circle. Spoon some of the meat mixture onto the center, then fold into half-moon shapes. Seal edges by pressing with your fingers.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place one or two pies into the fryer at a time. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning once to brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels, and serve hot.

FRIED QUINCE EMPANADAS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a lengthwise slit in each plantain and set on a baking sheet. Bake until the flesh is thoroughly soft and oozing through the slit, 40-50 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, make the stuffing: Peel, core and finely chop 3 of the quinces. Peel and core the remaining 2 quinces and cut each into 8 wedges. Drop the wedges into a bowl of cold water to cover and squeeze in the lemon juice.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over moderate heat. Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring, until the sugar has melted. Add the finely chopped quinces, ginger, orange zest, cloves and cinnamon and stir to combine. Add 1 cup of water and continue cooking until most of the liquid is gone, about 15 minutes. Add the orange juice and rum and cook until almost all of the liquid is gone, about 5 minutes. Drain the quince wedges and add to the pan. Reduce the heat, cover and cook until the wedges are just soft, about 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the walnuts and let cool. (The stuffing can be make a day in advance and refrigerated).
- Make the dough in a food processor with a paddle attachment: Peel, trim and discard any tough ends from the plantains. Combine the plantains and salt and pulse until a smooth puree is formed, or mix until just blended. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate about 2 hours.
- To assemble: Roll 2 tablespoons of the dough between your palms to form a ball. Line the bottom of a tortilla press with a small plastic bag and place the ball of dough in the center. Place another plastic bag over the dough and press to form a 3 1/2inch circle. Place a quince wedge on half of the dough circle and top it with a teaspoon of the sauce. Fold over to enclose the quince and press the edges to seal. Place the stuffed empanadas on a platter and chill at least 30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees F. Gently drop the empanadas into the hot oil and fry until golden, about 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve hot.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat; add onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir, 3 to 4 minutes. Add beef, garlic, and adobo; continue to cook and stir until meat is browned, crumbly, and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain mixture in a colander to remove most of the liquid and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Transfer cooled mixture to a mixing bowl with raisins, tomato paste, eggs, olives, and vinegar. Mix to combine and season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour and lay out empanada discs on top. Place a spoonful of stuffing on the bottom half of a disc and moisten the edges with water. Fold disc in half over the stuffing and press with a fork to seal the edges. Dust with flour and transfer to a plate. Repeat to form remaining empanadas, stacking on the plate between layers of waxed paper.
- Heat vegetable oil (3/4 inch deep) in a large frying pan over medium heat. Place empanadas in the hot oil, working in batches, and fry until browned and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes; flip. Continue frying on opposite side until browned, 3 to 5 minutes more.

ECUADORIAN FRIED CHEESE EMPANADAS
Steps:
- Place the flour in a large bowl with the salt and baking powder and whisk briefly to mix.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour. Use a pastry cutter or 2 knives to "cut" the butter into the flour, until the mixture is crumbly and there are no large pieces of butter.
- Add the milk or water 2 tablespoons at a time and mix gently with a fork. Continue to mix until the dough comes together and is not too dry or shaggy (you made need slightly more or less water).
- Knead the dough a few times with your hands until it is relatively smooth.
- Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest on the counter for 30 minutes (or refrigerate for several hours-up to overnight).
- Cover dough with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes (or refrigerate until ready to use). This dough can also be prepared in a food processor. Add the butter to the flour mixture and pulse briefly until butter is in small pieces and the mixture is crumbly. Add the milk or water gradually and pulse, just until the dough comes together into a ball.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet and add the minced onion. Cook over medium-low heat until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- When it has cooled, place the onion with the shredded cheese in a bowl and toss to combine.
- Divide the dough into 16 equal balls. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, and then let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball of dough into a thin, 6-inch diameter circle, letting the dough rest for several minutes if needed to let the dough relax and stretch.
- Brush the edges of a circle of dough lightly with water.
- Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the middle of the dough, and then fold the circle of dough in half and seal the edges together firmly.
- Fold the edges of the dough into a decorative seam (learn how to shape and fill empanadas ).
- Repeat with remaining pieces of dough.
- Heat several inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat.
- The oil is hot enough with a piece of the dough sizzles gently in the oil.
- Cook the empanadas in batches, flipping them once until they are golden brown.
- Carefully remove the empanadas from the oil with a slotted spoon, spatula, or tongs, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Sprinkle the tops of the empanadas with a teaspoon of sugar as soon as you place them on the plate.
- Let empanadas cool for 5 minutes before serving.

ARGENTINIAN EMPANADAS

Steps:
- In a large frying pan, sautée the onions in the oil and butter. (Using butter is important since once cold, it will make assembling the empanadas easier). Sprinkle the crushed cube of vegetable stock (This enhances flavour). Add in the meat. Cook until slightly coloured (it is not recommended to cook well meat well, since then, the empanadas will be baked or fried, so a double cooking process will make meat harder!)
- ncorporate the tomato sauce (this is optional, but I find this makes empanadas "juicier", Argentinians love it when their empanadas drip the meat/onions/tomato juice!; this is also why you don't have to skimp on the onions...) Cook for 2'. Add in all the spices, the olives and hard-boiled eggs. Refrigerate, preferably 24hs.
- In a bowl, put the flour, adding slowly the melted fat or butter. Incorporate this using a fork. Then, put the mixture on your table, making a mound with a well in the center. Start adding the salmuera, little by little, make a ball. The mixture should not be neither too dry not too sticky. If the last happens, rub your hands with flour, and keep on kneading as you would bread dough. Continue until the dough is smooth.
- Form a ball, and let the dough rest (cover with a towel) for 15'. On a floured table top, flatten the dough ball, with a rolling pin, until it is 3 mm wide. Then, cut 12cm wide circles, using a pastry ring mold or a tea saucer.
- Nowadays, in Argentina, people rarely make the dough themselves, since it can be bought, pre cut, in the right size, in any supermarket. If you want to avoid the hassle of making the dough yourself, you can buy pastry puff sheets and cut them into smaller disks of the right dimension...the flavour won't be the same, but it is a great time-saver!
- OK, a spoonful of the filling is on the pastry disk, seal them as you see in the photo
- Place the empanadas on a baking tray, brushed with sunflower oil. Bake them (200ðCð) for 15/20' until golden brown.
- For extra brilliance and taste, you can brush the empanadas with egg yolk. Some people love sprinkling cassonade (brown) sugar on them! (My family adores that !!)
