ting.html - has what appears to be a wonderfully authentic Spanish empanada
While the pastry was insprired by hidy_lady at: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/290/buttern

Instead of doing one family sized empanda like the spanish would, I've made 12 individual portions South American style to help me with portion control.
These will take some time so make them on the weekend for weekday lunches.
You can make both the pastry and filling a day ahead.
Ropa Veija
Slow-cooked tender shredded beef, with a smoky tomato-based sauce.
Limber de mantecado is a frozen snack treat which is made in Puerto Rico. They are really good and it's a quick snack and it's very refreshing. I love them and I just learned to make them.
Traditional chicken soup with a twist. You can use 2 cups chicken broth if you didn't prepare any at home.
Just something I tossed together for breakfast and thought was yummy, so I decided to share,
My own recipe for habichuelas rojas guisadas, stewed red beans (well, pinto in this case).
This soup takes about 2.5hrs total, including time to soak beans. Great with cornbread or tortilla chips. Can easily be made vegetarian by adding veggie chorizo.
This is a combination of the best of the paella recipes we could find! Minus the chorizo, rabbit and mountain snails.
