I was thinking these pastry discs could be filled with anything. Thinking of trying a Philly cheesesteak type filling next Interesting, Is it kind of like a fried Stromboli?

Seems pretty much every South/Central America country has their variation. I fried them, but they can definitely be baked. They are basically like a mini calzone "mother Theresa was a POS"-fish'nmagician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are basically like a mini calzone The Puerto Rican places use a deep fried flaky, crunchy flour crust, but some Central American places around here use a thicker corn Masa dough and deep fried. Seriously, crazy good. I like the shredded chicken filling. We've never made them, but we have made shredded turkey tamales wrapped in corn husks, and various dumplings, ravioli and perogies both with store bought and homemade skins. Great episode of Ugly Delicious on Netflix where they cover dumplings worldwide. jkrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimW Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Jamaican curry meat pies. Empanadas inspired me. That, and some leftover ground beef. jkrock 1 "I have ... put a lump of ice into an equal quantity of water ... if a little sea salt be added to the water we shall produce a fluid sensibly colder than the ice was in the beginning, which has appeared a curious and puzzling thing to those unacquainted with the general fact."- Joseph Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've cut tons of thin slice beef for that type of dish, never seen finished product. Knots on the bottom or side for the twine ,priceless. There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in something you do it only when it is convenient. When you are committed to something you accept no excuses and produce only results. Author unknown.

I knot on the "top", but they're round, so there really is no top. ====Mako Mike====Makomania SportfishingPt. Judith, RI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Trinidadian place a 10 min walk away that makes em beef, curry chicken, jerk chicken and veggie. Until recently they were only $2, then they bumped them to $2.50. It's hard not to grab one when I'm going past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two very different cultures side by side, that didn't blend or assimilate. JD Edited February 28, 2020 by jjdbike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent bacon, you know what works very well on avocado? Chipotle powder. I'm also a fan of anchovies on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
