Vegetarian Empanadas
Vegetarian empanadas are savory pies that give a feeling of happiness from the very first bite. Although they make a wonderful side dish, my family serves them for dinner since we feel they deserve to be the main course. The recipe below cooks up a large batch which freezes well.
