History and facts empanadas:

 The name comes from the Spanish verb empanar, meaning to wrap or coat in bread.

Usually the empanada is made by folding a thin circular-shaped dough patty

over the stuffing, creating its typical semicircular shape. Empanadas are

also known by a wide variety of regional names.

Colombian empanadas can be either baked or fried. The ingredients used in the
filling can vary according to the region, but it will usually contain components such as salt, rice, beef or ground beef, boiled potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and peas.
However, radical variations can also be found (cheese empanadas, chicken-only empanadas, and even Trucha - Trout - empanadas). The pastry is mostly corn-based, although potato flour is also used. Colombian empanadas are usually served with Aji (also called Picante by some people), a sauce made of cilantro, green onions, vinegar, salt, and lemon juice. Bottled hot sauces are also used to add flavor to the empanadas. Colombian empanadas are also known to contain carrots and chicken. Another variety include Stuffed Potatoes (Papas rellenas) which is a variant that has potato in the pastry instead of maize dough and have round shapes.
