Argentina is without doubt well known for its steak famously cooked on a parrilla. Coming to Argentina and not eating an asado as its know here is the same as going to Italy and not eating pizza – it’s simply a must do. Often when people eat an asado the starter will be empanadas, which before you come to Argentina you may never have heard of. They are sort of like an English pastie only tastier. They are simply delicious and usually come in a number of fillings such a beef, chicken and vegetable. Many guests who have come to La Margarita and eaten them here have asked us how they are made. With this in mind we decided to film Raquel on La Margarita lovely making this typically Argentine specialty. To be truthful I never realized what goes into making them and I found it fascinating to watch Raquel go to work and make them. The video of her making them has now been uploaded to YouTube and if you are interested in cooking it makes great viewing –here is the link I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the empanadas Raquel made.
