Ingredients & Preparation
Have your ingredients pre-measured and prepped before the class for a more seamless experience.
If you do not have certain ingredients, our chefs will do their best to suggest substitutions.
Before coming to class…
For the vegetable filling, dice the vegetables into small pieces. The pieces will need to be small enough so you can stuff the empanadas and wrap the dough around the filling.
Chef Nacho will be preparing these two traditional types of empanadas, but if you would like to add any kind of meat or other ingredients, please have them pre-cooked and in small pieces ready for class as well.
