Chilean Empanada Recipe
These Chilean empanadas are savory hand pies, generously filled with a rich mix of ground pork and onions. They're seasoned with oregano and cumin, then brightened with the unexpected additions of raisins, briny olives, and creamy hard-cooked eggs. The filling is cooked until deeply browned, creating a robust base for these contrasting flavors. Encased in a simple, shortening-based dough, these substantial pastries bake up golden and ready for a meal.
