Pasteis De Carne (fried Pastries With Meat Filling), These sound delicious, this is posted by request via email for Rachel , they sound so good I may try them myself soon From Latin American Cooking, A treasury of recipes from the South American countries, Mexico and the Caribbean Susan Bensusan , This is the pastry recipe I’ll be using from now on It’s absolutely reliable , Love the ease of the pastry, but I make the filling without the egg I add 1/2 green bell pepper, 1/2 a red bell pepper, more garlic (YUM!)and 2 to 3 chopped basil leaf (fresh if @ hand)1 can of tomato sauce , OH! and skip the cheese If you want dessert use the same pastry but fill with guava paste and cream cheese (but thats another recipe)This would be cuaban empanadas what I just decribed
