I can be stupid stubborn about keeping my kitchen as basic as possible. Despite the fact that I work as a chef and cook at home daily, my kitchen is almost totally devoid of fancy gadgets, all I have are the essential kitchen gadgets I found at Spice Kitchen + Bar that every house needs. Rolling pin? Well this wine bottle out of the recycling will do just fine. Kitchen shears? How about this pair I used to trim my bangs? Stand mixer? Do I look like I have two broken arms to you?
What I’m really getting at here is that I kept it simple when making these empanadas. I walked down and bought prepared empanada dough at my local Puerto Rican grocery. In truth, I have never made empanada dough of my own free will. It’s not terribly complicated, just messy, and in my opinion, unnecessary. After all, it’s what’s inside that counts.
