Chef tips
To keep the pastry crisp and avoid a soggy bottom, let the meat filling cool down entirely before filling. Use a fork to crimp the edges firmly; it creates a lovely design and stops the filling from escaping while baking. Serve the empanadas with some fresh chimichurri sauce for an extra burst of flavour. It's a great task for children to help crimp the edges, and you can swap the beef for chopped chicken thighs or lentils for a rich vegetarian alternative.
