Latin Experience

Hello everyone! I hope you have a nice day

Today we start a project that we had in mind and that is to share with this community the exquisite food of Latin America.

We are from Venezuela and our goal is to reveal our culture, with the hope that you can do it yourself in your homes.

We hope your support and that you like our Blog, please follow us ...

We will start with a recipe from our own country perfect for breakfast, although our goal is to show all the food from Latin America.

     VENEZUELAN EMPANADAS

Recipe for approximately 5 empanadas.

It is divided into two steps:

Ingredients for the dough:

• Corn Flour (250 grams).
• 1 spoon of sugar.
• Salt to taste.
• 3 cups of water.

Ingredients for the stew:

• 1 chicken breast.
• 3 Sweet pepper.
• Chives (50 grams).
• Garlic (5 grains).
• Half an onion.
• 1 Ripe Tomato.
• Salt and seasonings to taste.

350ml of oil.

Steps to make the stew:

1. Boil the breast until soft.

2. Chop sweet chili, chives, garlic and onion into small pieces and cook in a pan over low heat with a cup of water, then add salt and seasonings to taste (cook for 15 minutes).

3. Shred the chicken, then add it to the pan after cooking the dressings, leave another 3 minutes.

While our stew is cooling, we will make the dough (the stew has to be cold so that our empanada does not open when frying it).

Steps to make the dough:

1. Add the flour, the tablespoon of sugar and the salt to taste in a container and mix.

2. Add water until it is moldable and compact, but not runny.

To end:

Follow the steps more or less as shown in the photo.

1. Roll out the dough into a circle on a piece of plastic bag.

2. Add the stew in the center that is slightly spread.

3. Fold the plastic so that the dough is folded in half. And then place a cup on top to remove the excess and make it symmetrical.

Our empanada is now ready to be fried over high heat and served at our table.

I hope you can enjoy this recipe ... Greetings.
