Empanadas

On Sunday, we tried to make Spanish style empanadas.  I love empanadas, I have done ever since I lived in Spain and fell in love with tapas.  When I went to a Tupperware party in February, I saw a special mold for making them at home. 

This weekend we got around to trying it and opted for an onion and blue cheese filling.  The mold was rubbish.  Maybe it was just with the gluten free dough but every time we closed the maker, all the filling fell out the middle.  My friend had the same problem.  In the end Nico made a couple by hand and they turned out the best tasting anyway. 

Next time we will definitely do it by hand and put in more filling!

Tupperware Time

On Saturday I visited my first ever Tupperware party.  It was great fun, although I have to admit, a lot of that came from the great company and the chance to practise my Spanish, German and English all in one go rather than from the Tupperware itself.

I did place an order and was really excited when I found the product in the catalogue - it was an empanada maker.  Since living in Spain and falling in love with tapas, I've always wanted to make these and they have been on our gluten free to do list for a while so come February, we will be able to get going!

The down side of the evening was how expensive the products generally are.  Having seen parts of the Food Inspectors on you tube, I was especially inspired to clean up my act and get organized in the kitchen but I just can't afford to do it the Tupperware way.  Maybe when I win the lottery...
