las empanadas chilenas

rachel and i spent most of saturday making empanadas! we each made our fillings friday night in preparation. i made pino (meat filling) and she made chicken filling and apple filling. preparing the dough.....


rolling and cutting it into circles (using wine bottles and pot lids for lack of better tools!)


placing the pino filling on the dough.... the meaty concoction, an olive and a slice of hard boiled egg. i still havent been able to discover the origin of the olive in the meat empanadas, other than it tastes good, which is reason enough!


folding over the dough and securing...


poking holes.


and enjoying the (cooked) yumminess....


... for many many meals to come!!
