(The pastry for this Empanada was made from scratch. Do try this at home!)
For the Empanadas I served it with a salad and enjoyed it with my sister and my step-mom. I think that the smoked paprika gave the empanadas a nice flavor that regular paprika can do. I will most definitly make this recipe again.

Pastry Anyone? This month, our group of Jr. Chef Elite members are concentrating on perfecting the art of making different types of crust and pastry...and cheese! This past Saturday they had a lesson with Pastry Chef Liliette Freeman from award winning Rick's Dessert Diner. While they've had pastry lessons before, this was time to focus on technique and to learn a few tricks from a pro. Their first menu to complete at home: Smoked Chorizo & Cheese Empanadas Black Eye Pea & Tomato Salsa Mint & Apple Granita
If you'd like to prepare this meal, send us an e-mail and we'll forward the recipe: jrchef@karlaskitchentable.com. We'll post their pics and comments as they come in. Feel free to leave your own comments. Would love to hear from you!
