Dominican Republic: Empanadas

Empanadas are fried crispy pastry doughs made with an array of fillings to appease every palette. For a savory filling, you may want to go with the traditional empanada stuffed with carne molida, a sautéed ground beef stew made with tomatoes and Dominican seasonings. For those who don't eat meat, try seafood, cheese, or veggie fillings. And for dessert lovers, fillings like guava and cream cheese are sure to cure any sweet tooth.
