We’re back with another amazing recipe in collaboration with Dicksons Butchers and this one is our favourite so far!
These delicious pork empanadas are a perfect picnic treat and are fun to make with the family!
We’ve gone for an incredible pork filling, using Dicksons’ sausages, mixed with chilli and coriander, but you can try out anything you like! We’re going to be checking out their chilli and pepper sausages for our next batch!
You can either roll the dough out by hand or buy a tortilla press for around £10, which is great for these, tortillas or flatbread.
This recipe was produced in collaboration with Dicksons butchers in exchange for a £300 donation to the ‘Children North East’ charity. To find out more about the charity, visit:
