Last week in our cooking class, Marco taught us how to make empanadas. In Ecuador they deep fry them. So between the patacones and empanadas I have cooked more deep fried food in the last month that I had in all my previous years combined.
The kids and I recreated them for Matthew last night. At the school we made cheese empanadas and put sugar on them. Well, others put sugar on them but I thought that sounded gross so I ate them plain. For our dinner Ethan made empanadas stuffed with pesto chicken, Logan made cheese (with sugar on top, of course) and I made cheese, onion, tomato and cilantro. We added our new favorite, picadito (see previous post), and guacamole (Caro’s recipe). It was tasty and we were full… so another success.
