TASTY TRAVEL TUESDAY - TURKEY SAUSAGE and GRUYERE EMPANADAS

in photography •  8 years ago 

How about some taste bud expedition on this Hard Fork Tuesday?!

So, we’re hard forkin’ today, yes? I for one have to admit that I don’t fully understand everything in the techno world of steemit, but I do know food. So, what do you say to forkin’ some empenadas?

Gruyere is one of the best, what I call stinky cheeses out there. Especially when it’s stuffed in a crisp and flaky empanada with lots of other yummy stuffs!

Chile does not have fast food joints as so many of are accustomed to. In fact, in the South of Chile, there are NO drive thrus whatsoever. So, I guess you could say the empenadas are the fast food of Chile.

On these, I must admit that I took a shortcut and used pre-made wrappers. Normally I like to make everything home made, but time was not on my side for this. You may not have empanada wrappers available to you, but I would suggest using any pastry dough that you can roll out.

I hope you enjoyed the photos and I hope you give this a try!

I knew it when I read empandas that I should not open this article! I forgot to eat and this hitted me so bad :D
Damn, so hungry now and nothing that I can eat without cooking. Thanks :p

Great comment @andrupetria. keep these coming

It's also famous food of festivals in India, we call it gujjiya here. I love eating it.

That's fascinating @looftee, thanks for sharing!!!

Is not this a samoosa? Moreover what is the different between paobhaji and varapao?

noo, it's gujjiya, samosa is triangular and contaons potato.

Ohh here in pakistan samoosa are found in two shapes this gujiya one and like you said in triangular shape both!!

You have to try the empanadas de Galicia - to die for!
Upvoted and following you.

You are probably right. I will add it to the to do list

@gringalicious, I had such an awesome comment in mind for this post, until I saw that you used pre-made wrappers for the empanadas... and then i thought, you're genius for doing that, fast food requires speed and that helped speed things up for this recipe :)

Yeah, I needed speed for these for sure. Sometime you really should use the tools afforded to you

Definitely, thinking on your feet is always best! I'm sure the crew just loved these too :)

They look amazing, you can not go wrong with home made empanadas, there is so many options and flavor variations you can make with those crunchy little pockets. I especially love making them really spicy with some nice home made hot chili sauce and adding fresh herbs. My mouth is watering now lol. #fatkidproblems

Thank you for sharing that tip @healthyrecipe

You are welcome, and thank you for such great recipes and beautiful food pictures. :)

Was wondering what delicious dish you was going to post next for hardfork19:) This looks really good... I mean it, cheers!!!

Cheers to you too! Thanks @arcaneinfo

These look delicious, I'm super jealous

Oh, well I'm very happy to know to like them @empten

This looks so good! I have never even heard of an Empanada. Thank you for sharing, I cannot wait to try these this weekend.

Oh, you have not lived until you have had an empanada. You got to make it happen

Empanadas!!! yay !! gotta love those!
I also see a cork there, I know empanadas and red wine get along well... specially with some top notch crispy delicious looking empanadas :D

Mind sharing the recipe? I would definitely give those a try. And that pastry looks perfect!

Thanks @gringalicious !!

Great @dontstopmenow, so happy you like them. For the recipe just check the comments at the top.

I see the recipe there.....I am going to eat soooooo many of these!

Upvoted! 😊

I really appreciate that @breakingtonight!

You're quite welcome, @gringalicious

WOW they look amazing. I thought I knew what one was until I saw this photo. The ones in wholefoods are nothing like these! I'm from the UK and miss pasties so much and these are the only things that looks like they will come close.

They are probably similar @william702! Glad you're inspired.

Interesting post..may useful for mother housewife.

I do not know what do you exactly called in tgat snap but here in Pakistan, we call it a SAMOOSA that contains potato or sometime minced meat fillet it can be of beef or of chicken fillet I personally like chicken fillet one

Those sound amazing. Thanks so much for commenting @bilal-hasan

Pleasure is all mine! You are welcome

I love empanadas! They look so crispy and delicious. I've always wanted to try making them.

Of course, just check the comments @natashahall and thanks.

Above I read that you like cooking, you like to make everything homemade. I am exactly the opposite haha :P I don't like cooking. However, as I can see from the pics , it is delicious :) You make me hungry :P I followed you and resteemed your post :)

Thanks so much for the comments and taking the time @mariamaraki

They look delicious! Yes to Gruyere cheese. I am thinking of entering a burger contest and Gruyere cheese is on my mind. I love it. Great recipe. One of these days I am going to be the first to request the recipe. LOL! Take care.

LOL on being first for the recipe. Watch for me in the mornings normally.

Yes, Gruyere is special and maybe could be your secret ingredient to win that contest.

Mouth watering! Great pictures as well! :)

I love it @gringalicious . Keep sharing with us :)

I hope to be sharing for a while @funnyman!!
