Stemming from the spanish word empanar or to wrap in bread, empanadas are essentially baked or fried pastry with filling. These pocket pies can be found in south europe, latin america and the philippines and the ingredients used in the fillings are dependent on the country of origin. Adobo empanada is the filipino version and as the name suggests, the pork filling is marinated with adobo seasoning, resulting in its signature sweet-sour flavor. Serve hot and eat immediately for a satisfying snack.
