Salteñas (Beef and Onion Pastry)

Saltenas are a beef and onion pastry very similar to an empanada that we are already familiar with thanks to Argentina. These types of savory pastries are a staple in most South American countries and Bolivia is no exception. This takes two days to make as you add gelatin to the meat mixture and it requires refrigeration overnight to set. This recipe makes about 16 saltenas. Oh and don’t forget to make the llajwa salsa to go with it, delicious!
