These beef empanadas made with diced red pepper, shallots and green olives were sent to Familia Kitchen Lucy Dysart. Lucy and her sister Lisa Kear grew up with their grandparents in Panama, and both love making favorite recipes from their childhood for their own families, now that they are living in the States.
Lucy says she whips up these family-famous empanadas often. We especially like how her empanada dough calls for cream cheese, resulting in a rich, extra-lush flavor.
