A guide to Latin empanadas

Empanadas are filled pastries found throughout Latin America, with each region putting its own spin on the dough and filling. In Venezuela they are traditionally made with a cornmeal dough and fried, then filled with shredded beef, chicken, cheese or black beans.

Order a few for the table to share as a starter, or choose two with rice, beans, avocado and plantains for an easy lunch.
