BEEF-POTATO EMPANADAS WITH CHIMICHURI SAUCE
While almost any filling can be used in these first course pastries, beef is still the all time Argentine favorite. From a September 1986 issue of Bon Appetit in the "Bon Voyage" section, featuring Buenos Aries, Argentina. These can also be a part of an appetizer buffet and are baked, not frozen. The chimichuri sauce is also wonderful with plantain chips or served with a steak!
