What it is

Argentina's hand-held icons: half-moon pastries with regional fillings — beef, olives and egg in Salta, sweet-salty ground beef in Tucumán, corn humita in the north. Ingredients: flour, lard, warm salted water (dough); ground beef, onion, cumin, paprika, boiled egg, olives, raisins (optional); or humita corn filling. Recipe: 1) Make a lard dough; rest; roll thin discs. 2) Cook the filling; season boldly; cool completely. 3) Fill, wet the edge, fold and crimp the repulgue braid. 4) Bake hot until blistered (or fry, Tucumán-style). Serve: with chimichurri or a squeeze of lemon, at every gathering in the country. Flavor: juicy beef, warm spice, flaky crust. History: Moorish-Spanish empanadas crossed the Atlantic and splintered into fierce provincial loyalties — Salta even holds the empanada's national capital title in dispute with Tucumán. See also: Asado, Milanesa a la Napolitana.
