  • Savory Latin- American Turnovers
    he idea of folding pastry over a filling to make T a little pie seems to have occurred to cooks in almost every part of the world. Walking through my neighborhood in New York City, I can find many ver- sions of what I grew up calling an empanada. At the local pizzeria, calzones are stacked in the window. There’s an Eastern European deli where I sometimes buy pierogi, and when I order appetizers at an Indian restaurant, I always have samosas. My own restau- rant, Patria, features food from Latin America, and empanadas are always on my menu. Empanadas are an invitation to improvise. Only two things are necessary to make an em- panada—a dough and a filling. What the dough is made of and how you fill it are all up for grabs. At every step along the way, you can add an ingredient or change the shape, size, or cooking method. CHANGE THE FAT AND YOU CHANGE THE FLAVOR AND TEXTURE OF THE DOUGH Doughs can be made with cornmeal or different types of flours, but the one ingredient that will most Put the filling slightly determine the flavor and texture of your pastry is off-center when you’re the fat you choose. Throughout Latin America, lard using just one piece is the fat of choice for making tender pastry with a of folded dough for rich, distinctive flavor. Vegetable shortening makes the pastry. a tender, flaky dough without adding much flavor. Doughs made with butter have a wonderful flavor and are firm rather than flaky.
