Hi John, Im from Mendoza, Argentina. Here empanadas are onions, minced Meat and spices. And each province has its own particular recipe. If you want , I can send you our tradicional mendocinian recipe of empanadas. Love your recipes
Gabriela Lazic, any chance you could post that recipe in the comments or send to me? That sounds heavenly!
Yes yes yes Empanadas recipes from everywhere and variations would be incredible. Thank you!!
Yup in my province with use hand cut meat instead of ground beef. My mom used to do it both ways with ground beef and hand cut meat like stew meat but smaller. I like the tuna ones that my grandma used to make for cuaresma (grew up catholic) and the spinach ones. But I moved way up north of the US now and it's hard to find discos and my masa never comes up right. So I gave up in eating empanadas.
In general Argentinian Empanada dough is more elastic less flaky, (unless is a type of puff pastry for tuna empanadas) never thick like pie dough , we use warm water and beef tallow or lard never suet , in the filling there is a great variety, but usually no garlic .

Thank you
The link to the full recipe is in the description. It'll take you to his website.
You DON'T seem to be TOO busy!
Hola!!
I am from Spain, you are doing in excellent job with the empanadas.
I'm hooked on your recipes.
Thank you very much.
I once went to an after rugby party. The host's wife was from Argentina. She made a ton of these empanadas and used WonTon dough and fried them. They were out of this world. Your recipe reminded me of it all. I will surely make them soon for a party. Thanks
Missing my mom after watching you talking to your mom...continue to savor the moment with her 💛
God bless 🙏
I like that you use other items like a bowl to cut with. That is what a real home cook does. 🙌🏻💕
We love the beef ones with raisins, chopped olives & chopped boiled eggs! So delicious! Thanks for this great dough recipe!
Am Peruth from Uganda I like to watch you things and I am doing them thank you so so much
I lived in Argentina and learned how to make empanadas from the experts - las abuelas (the grandmas). Que rico! We did both of your methods of sealing plus one other.
We pinch the curved edge with thumb and index finger both hands and make a z fold. Then pinch it secure and move over a touch. About 4-5 of these along the curved edge does the trick. Place the empanada on your tray with the sealed edge up. Sealing empanadas is an art form.
When making the filling we also started with the fat, seasoning, and garlic. Cook just until the garlic lightly browns. Immediately add the meat to stop burning the garlic. Careful, garlic turns fast and sudden. As the meat cooks, add the vegetables, then tomato.
The recipe you shared is what we made in Córdoba, Argentina. Make it sweeter without the vegetables; add raisins to the mix. As you fold them, add a green olive and a wedge of hard boiled egg. This is how they make them in Mendoza. I think this is what your mom described; I couldn’t hear her well.
I ❤ empanadas. I’ve made them for over 35 years now. Never even thought about the meaning of the word. Thanks. It’s always great to learn something new.
Wish I was your "Taste Tester"!!! I love Empanadas...
For those who don't want to make the dough, Goya makes frozen discos that are for baking rather than frying and they work GREAT for empanadas. If you have a Latin grocery nearby they should have them. My recipe is similar to this except it uses sofrito, which gives an amazing flavor. I love beef empanadas!!
There nasty now
It's always worth it to make your own dough
Just making a chicken sofrito to fill my empanadas with Goya discos. But I just noticed that the discos are smaller than 6 month ago! 🤭
@@jhennessyde-la-fuente7193 They have two sizes. Are you sure you didn't just get the smaller ones? The larger ones are more of a meal-size; the smaller ones make more of an appetizer size.
@@jillcnc ...I am sure. I think Goya are changing the look too, the package is different and discos are bit smaller, at least that is what I have seen at Latin Markets in Los Angeles, Ca.
John, I absolutely love all of your recipes! Every single one I’ve tried is a hit. You never fail me! I am a huge foodie and serious home cook. I really appreciate your recipes and I can’t wait to try this one out!!
My mom was from spain! She made a mean empanadas on a home made red sauce, green and red peppers pieces of hard boil eggs and the star of the show salted cod(she would soak and added her own salt (she would saute garlic onion and roasted peppers on olive oil) yummy
I like the relationship you have with your Mom. God bless you
We have Cornish pasties in UK, very similar recipe and shape but maybe a bit bigger. Ideal lunch packed in an edible casing for farm workers out all day on the land. Some of the earlier ones were savoury at one end and sweet ( apple , fruit etc) at the other . Love these .
Miners from Cornwall brought them to Mexico in the 1800s. We call them “pastes” here
Him and his mother are just the sweetest!
I also put in raisins - this is what I learned from a Filippina friend in San Francisco - and it is absolutely delicious!
That is amazing it reminds me Ramadan that is number one food comes to my mind when I am fasting thanks for sharing your wonderful food recipes keep going
Your relationship with your mom is precious!!
I have been craving empanadas and have been living away from Miami for a year can’t wait to go back in a month however I will be making empanadas for first time this week thanks to you. I appreciate it.
I'm definitely buying your cookbook asap, and shall await it eagerly! Everything I've ever made with your recipes has been incredible, thank you for doing what you do 💕
Thank you John for sharing your unique way to make “Empanadas”. Kudos to your mom for racing such a wonderful cook! As you mentioned “Empanadas” were brought from Spain and Portugal. Around the world they took their unique multi-cultural flavors to make them more delicious!
Great work, keep it up! God bless you for sharing your talents!!!🙏🙏🙏😘
I love your relationship with your mother. so nice of both of you
Hi John---great video! For a secret on the amazingly perfect roll on the dough to seal the empanadas, lay it on the table or mat where you are working, and use both hands to roll the crust, as opposed to holding it in your hand. You Can Do It!!!
John, your videos always make me laugh, love how you look at the cameras and always know what to say and know we are laughing at you! Thank you for the videos, and can’t wait for the cookbook!!
Hello John, if I making two empanada fillings (beef & cheese) I use the folding method for the beef empanadas and the fork method for the cheese empanadas, that way I can distinguish which one is which 😅
Love your work and everything you do for this community, thank you... 🤗👍
I must admit your knife work is very impressive 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Incredible cooking tutorial! The step-by-step guidance made even complex dishes seem approachable. Thanks for the delicious ideas!
"I usually use a fork but I want them to be cute for you" 😊 ahhhh that energy ... this is what keeps me hooked on your videos! You are so adorable
Facts
You are my favorite! Quick tip on the onion. For no tears keep a small bowl of water near the onion you're cutting & the onion will go to that moisture spot instead of those awesome eye's of yours. Much love to you and the family.
I've never heard of that tip before!?
Definitely trying it out next time I'm cutting onions.
Thanks! ;)
@@kuroneko3896 it totally work's. Thank you for commenting. Giada De Laurentiis takes credit for this. I learned it from her. Have a blessed weekend ahead my friend.
Love how you called your mom ❤️ so sweet!
I bought the dough already made. I couldn't take too much time making these since I'm in the middle of exams. Thank you John for the recipe they were good! Greetings from the eternal city of Rome.
I love Argentinian empanadas! It’s a traditional food just meat onions garlic and spices. Baked or fried. Then you have lot of fillings options of empanadas. Thank you for your recipes Preppy!💜
Thanks Anna!!
Those are not Argentinian empanadas 🤦🏼♀️
@@mastaniji9225 Anna is right. Meat empanadas have meat (which can be minced or cut with knife in bigger chunks), onions, garlic, different tipes of spices, and some people add potatoes, raisins or olives. Also you have other “flavors”, like chicken, caprese (tomatoes, basil and mozzarella), humita (corn filling), etc.
I really dont think you are argentinian so please shut up if you dont know our recipes, pelotudo.
@@Yasmin11 Never thought of Caprese!!
sounds delicious to me. Thank-you!!!!
@@Yasmin11 I'm from Argentina and I really know about empanadas. Do u need some recipes to send u? From where part of my country??? CATAMARCA, CÓRDOBA, JUJUY, MENDOZA, SAN JUAN ....FROM NORTH OR SOUTH OF MY COUNTRY???? I can send u what ever u feel cooking.
By the way, I make them by my own. I can teach U. FRIED OR BAKED????
And I'm a LADY, born in Buenos Aires, CABA. Right now I'm in Santa Fe.
if u are from Argentina.... la única pelotuda sos vos, sin ofender😏 Creo que nos entendemos.
Pd: Las salteña, llevan papa. En gral a las norteñas les ponen este ingrediente🥔.
Thanks for teaching us this. This is such a great idea to use when you have lot of left-over meats. This way, we won't waste and can eat it later in week in a different form.
EXCELENT I am so thankful to you!!!
I am from Argentina and these empanadas bring me a lots of memories.
Blessings!!!
i've made this so many times and each time it was perfect
love the clear and simple instructions
❤❤❤
Empanadas can be filled with so many ingredients, so this recipe is great to know 💜
My Argintine neighbors gave us sweet empanadas at Christmas made with beef filling that had tiny pieces of prunes and raisins with cumin and cinnamon. Yummy!!
I'm from Puerto Rico and we call them empanadillas. They are fried and the pastry is flakey. Haven't made them in a while but now I want some.
🔥 🔥 🔥
Your mom sounds ADORABLE! 😊😊
I love your spirit and your sweet vibes.
I love your food creations. ❤
I was taught to make them with just ground beef and spices. The spices are cumin , oregano, sage and a whole teaspoon of red ground Chile peppers. They are hot but delicious. This was from someone who served in Panama back in the early 1980's there. The pastry dough also had white wine in it. They are good.
The one thing I wish I knew to make is the hash burrito that I got while in El Paso from a family restaurant. Man they were so yummy. Idk what all spices and or aromatics . I wish I knew. I know the owners were of Mexican decent and wish I had asked being a mid western girl. After eating there, I never wanted to eat at Taco Bell again! This was YEARS ago but I can still remember them fondly!!!
A friend of mine made hash from leftover meat and potatoes that were cut up in very small cubes. Use traditional Mexican seasonings like you do in tacos and add your own favs. Also do a search on CZcams 😅
These look so delicious! 🤤 Thank you for sharing with us 😊
The simplicity of the recipe looks so appealing ! Changing up the filling looks like an easy thing for endless variety too.😃👍
I’m a Virgo too and I love your show and recipes. I have tried many of your recipes and they came out great ! You make it so easy Bravissimo !
Hey John, I’m a recent subscriber and just wanted to say you’re killing it with these recipes! I’m Spanish and I never make the masa from scratch. It never even occurred to me, I always end up buying the Goya pre made rounds.
Anyway, thank you for this recipe and you should consider a Peruvian version. We put powdered sugar and lime on top. Might sound a little strange but the combination is perfection!
Richard 🇨🇴🇵🇪
That's what I wanted to do too lol. but none of the big stores around me carry them and I'm kind of a homebody so I tend to just either make it from scratch or order it somewhere that delivers lol. How much time this would save me though if I could get the Goya wraps. I'm trying to make this for a potluck with 25 people 😥 my family is from Cuba so I am stuffing mine with picadillo 🤤
I purchased the "Goya Empanada dough round disc's" at Walmart last week..
regards
@@justrayne7 have you see cooked by Julie she’s Cuban & makes her dough from scratch I couldn’t do it but I made her meat so many times & my friends & family loved it!
@@justrayne7 I like to buy the rounds from Kikuet in Puerto Rico. I think the shipping costs are worth it. They are much better than the Goya!
Lime is a very interesting idea!
I was skeptical of the peas, celery, and carrots but it tasted really good and my family loved it, the seasoning really comes through. Great recipe to have with some ancho chili sauce.
Try some green olives stuffed with pimientos from Goya, instead of peas, (don't put too much) your meat will taste better.
Hi John, I wanted to thank you, FINALLY the perfect dough for empanadas, LOVE IT so easy to work with and I live in the great one and only Southwest 4 corners area. I put a little southwestern charm in mine our secret ingredient green chili from Hatch, NM sets it off like WOW is that good. Whole family in love with this idea and it all started with your wonderful recipe. So I thank you John and I absolutely love your channel. You made our lives alot more delicious. ❤️🪔👼 God Bless

Oh, they look SO good! I lived in Paraguay/Argentina for years….so I DO love empanadas! 😋💕
I’m a Virgo too 😬… John you have helped me cook and it has made my family so happy 🤗you are amazing 🤩
We were raised vegetarian and my mom would make empanadas with cooked onions, corn, mozzarella and ricotta! She uses an egg as a binder so all the filling stays together. They are delicious! My mom rolls the edges but she leaves them on the counter to do the roll. She is way better at it than I am, so don’t feel bad 😂
That sounds good! Half my family is vegetarian, the other is omnivorous, so I always have to have alternatives.
I was thinking about using different closing methods to mark which fillings were which.
For those who are vegetarian, i really recommend Humita empanadas, which are filled with spiced corn, or Pumpkin Empanadas; they are amazing 🙌🏻
I've had many Spanish and Latin friends. One of them is a Columbian vegetarian. Once she and her husband had an "empanada party." (He is not vegetarian.) We all made empanadas together with the fillings they had made in advance. The fillings were a traditional meaty one, and a creamy spinach one. That last one is what I used for myself, and was delicious! That was many years ago, so sadly I don't really remember what else was in it. 😂😁
Made these last night with some Mexican corn salad and rice. So good!🥰
Hi john, i love your empanada recipe.
Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I will cook because i love eating empanadas.
I am from the Philippines. Dumaguete City❤❤❤😊
❤😊😊
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳... this dish just like our samoosa....
I have leftover filling for a chicken pot pie I had made. So I came here to see at what temp for how long to bake. Thought I'd also use the leftover dough from the pie to make an Empanada since I have never made them before. Thank you, John. You're my go-to guy!
Love the editing saying "I'm John. I'm a Virgo." 🤣 This looks so yummy! I haven't had empanadas before I might need to try this recipe. I can't wait to get your cookbook it is going to be here when it's almost my birthday so it's my present to myself. ❤
These seem like the Argentinian way to make empanadas . Love it!❤
love your recipes!! thank you so much for sharing!
I've never tried this type of empanada 🥟 but it looks delicious! In Colombia, we make the dough with cornmeal similar to an arepa and it's very thin to get as crispy as possible when deep fried. Fillings vary but my favorite is just sofrito (sautéed onion and tomato) with potatoes. Serve with a spicy dipping sauce similar to salsa. Thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes! ❤
Hello
You have become my new Martha Stewart, your recipes and techniques are spot on. I've made a few of your cakes and will use you as an automatic reference.
Same here!!!
I literally did the mashed potatoes recipe from this man and my man loved it. Very simple too. I will continue to use ur recipes.
Apricot and raisins, now there's an idea💝👌
Hi John thank you so much for sharing your Empanadas recipe, it looks delicious, I’ll be making them soon❤
HA! SO glad you called your Mom during this !! Was hoping she would make an "empanada" appearance !! Look forward to trying this recipe very soon!!
Channel of cake welcome 🌹🌹🌹
watching from Bacolod Cuty, Negros Occidental, Philippines. I will follow your recipe to make it delicious
John you did great sealing the empanadas, I like the traditional fold but like the design the forks makes too!
Hi john tried this recipe and my husband loved them ! Can you make A sweet empanada recipe next ?? probably dulce de leche or pumpkin filled yumm! thank you for your delicious recipes, much love! 🥰🥰
I forgot how much this ditch means to me. I will try to make it for my fuzzy kids. This can be the answer to my prayers. Also in Cuba my mum used to seal the empanadas with a fork. I think is better because the edges are less thick and one can enjoy them mejor 🥰...Oh and FRY. They taste better fry 😝
The knife placement on your head was everything ❤❤❤❤
I really love your cooking show because you use fresh ingredients and simple. You are my favorite CZcams. Thank you 😊 💓
John, you are such a great teacher. I love how you explain what to do (and also why to do it!!)😁
These look soooo good!! I've never had an Empanada. I will definitely try these! Thank you ❤️
Try an authentic recipe because this is not whar a real empanadas would eben taste like.
I'm making these again today. The first time I made them exactly as in the recipe and they were delicious! 👍 This time the filling is chicken in green sauce because I wanted to try something different. They are scrumptious! It really goes great with the pastry. Thanks again for sharing 💕
Thank you, John. I made my own filling but used your dough recipe and they turned out perfectly! Appreciate your videos!
Been trynna find a good recipe for this, it Looks so good, will definitely be trying this!
I actually used your spinach pie recipe as filling for the empanadas. They we’re delicious and worked out perfectly!
From time to time I made this Empanada with this pastry dough.. it reminds me when I was young and studying in DC- and my kids love them so much even I made the filling so they may eat with anything available, tortilla, mashed potato, bread and sandwich them and definitely over slightly cook scrambled eggs
I prefer fill the empanadas Peruvian style are very delicious ! 👍
I get war flashbacks every time I see an empanada lol. One time, my Abuelita took me to her Puerto Rican friend’s house just to get something. I was waiting in the car for over half an hour already and then she told me to come inside because her friend wanted to meet me. Her friend served me a whole meal of empanadas and pineapple juice. I’ve never been so full in my life. I actually thought I was going to pass out. 🤢
Lovely memories!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 at least u got a good treat for the whole week
They made you wait for 1/2 hour before they invite you in ?how rude 😅
প
@@paulanogueira6640 they must’ve got caught up talking before Abuelita realised she forgot she had a passenger😂😂😂
My mom makes amazing empanadas. She makes the pastry crust with lard, and I think it makes a difference. Same with all of her hand pies. You can also make these in an air fryer and they are super good!
I have lard. I wish I had seen your comment before making. Mine are in the oven now. I will try the lard next time. I make my own lard. :)
Amazing..Thank you so much for Turkish. Translation.I follow you for all recipes…You are an excellent chef…
All your recipes are great ! You make my day best cook ever !!!
Yum, John! Empanadas are delicious. Especially beef and chicken! Empanadas go great with meals, and make great snacks. I want one right now! 😋 😋
I'm not going to lie, I'm lazy as hell. I followed his directions exactly for the filling but then just rolled the filling up in a tortilla. Tasted great to me.
Yum savory empanadas, they look delicious!! Have you a recipe for the o’l Mexican panadería pumpkin empanadas I grew up with? I’d love *YOUR* version. I love all your ideas/recipes. 🥹🫶🏽
Your empanada dough looks yummy. Never apologize for doing a good job.
thank you John, I follow and prefer your recipes over pretty much everyone's. Not everyone explains as nicely as you do, so we don't feel bad for looking foe r a recipe.
Hi John, as an Argentinian I love empanadas, lots of love for you and you family ❤️🌻
Pero eso tiene menos de empanada. Es una tristeza.
MIL empanadas were made with ground beef, green onion, red pepper flakes, hard boiled egg and green olive. Very delicious. So many options.
I just made these and they are so good! The best empanada recipe!! Thank you so much
Ok, going to make this my husband is Spanish, and loves his family's dishes like this how yummy...
In the UK we have a dish called a Cornish pasty which is kind of similar but which uses raw beef, namely skirt steak. I have never tried to make them but I have eaten them and they are delicious, they have a very traditional recipe including potato , turnip ,onion and steak and pastry similar to the empanada , how do you feel about cooking it with raw chopped steak?
That was the first thing that popped in my head. Now I want one of my aunt's Cornish pasties
I had one today! I live in Cornwall. Love pasties! ❤️
I'm in the UK too. I make Cornish pasties and they are similar to these. I've got a set of pasty makers. Just cut a pastry circle out, pop it on top of whichever size you're using, put the filling in the middle and close the two halves. Really quick and easy. I bought them years ago - they were really cheap but so useful. The large one makes a good sized pasty and the little one is great for buffet sized pasties. The middle sized one is great for making apple turnovers or fruit pasties.
I make both, Pasties which are popular in Michigan upper peninsula which I use already made pie crusts, low percentage fat ground beef (Not pre cooked), potatoes, a few carrots chopped up for some color, onions, salt and pepper. For the Empanadas, I use pre made Pie crusts, low fat ground beef in a fry pan, add chili powder, 2 cans of Ro*Tel Mild Diced tomatoes & Green Chilies drained well, medium onion, Green olive sliced, salt, and some Monterey cheese. Both are delicious!

I make empanadas a lot but I need to learn how to make the dough. They look amazing😋 Love your cooking videos John!👍
Looks so good. I definitely will try this recipe.I like the ‘fold’ method better. Thank you for sharing your recipe. 😊
I am from South America and this is a very very good recipe, I will try it with a food processor next time. In Chile and Argentina some recipes add olives, raisins and hard boiled eggs…and a glass of wine to enjoy it! Wonderful to have landed in your channel thank you!
I'm supposed to be looking how to make a cake (I need to donate one home made cake next week) and I couldn't stop watching this video. I'll definetly try to make this for my kids lunch! Thank you John!
Channel of cake welcome 🌹🌹🌹
The filling that is used in this recipe is quite similar to the filling of a common indian dish known as the samosa.(also pronounced as sambusa by the indo-africans) Samosa filling can be made the same way or u can skip the meat in the recipe. You should also try making the famous indian samosa as its a very common dish not only made in india but also common amongst the Kenyan and Tanzanian communities.
The samsa (samosa) made in Tamilnadu are made with meat.
I now what somosus are they tast so good
Love them!
Aliya Bagha. These are not the fillings of a real empanada, see my comment above.
Fun fact. Empanada's came about 500years after Samosas.
Yum! We have empanadas too in the Philippines🇵🇭 😋
Ive always wanted to try making these, so thanks for the instructive lesson.
This literally went up as I was frying some empanadas!!!! 😂😂❤❤❤🎉 so cool!
and beef too!!! what are the odds!?? 😮😂😂❤
Nice!
Isn't it spooky?
@@bellaellen4030 right!? Lol
@@NailEuphoriai swear this phone tracking everything we do!!! Lol
Hi John I love your channel and have made several things that you demonstrated. My first husband was from Argentina and 40 years later I can still recall the delicious flavor of his mother’s empanadas. I don’t know her recipe but I know they had raisins and green olives and I suspect cinnamon s well after watching this video. 🥟🥟❤️
Can't wait for my Preppy Kitchen cookbook!!!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Easy and delicious. The dough came out really nice.
