Empanada Cordobesa

This empanada variety originates from Córdoba in Argentina, hence the name. It is sweet and savory because it's filled with beef, raisins, potatoes, olives, and white sugar. Other ingredients include hard-boiled eggs, onions, garlic, red wine, paprika, and cumin. These empandas are also juicier than most other varieties because they include tomatoes in the mix. The filling is enclosed in dough consisting of flour, egg yolks, lard or pork fat, water, and salt, just like most empanadas. Empanadas cordobesas are fried in hot oil or baked in the oven until browned.
