Colombian Caribbean-style empanadas are a classic snack from the country\u2019s northern coast. Their most recognizable version features fried corn dough filled with salty, firm coste\u00f1o cheese, which softens slightly as the empanadas cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will often find them at breakfast, as an afternoon snack, or sold from street stalls throughout the Caribbean region. They are commonly served with Colombian hot sauce, creamy suero coste\u00f1o, or a cup of coffee. Coastal Colombian empanadas are traditionally made with corn dough and may be filled with cheese, meat, or chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/stop>\n<\/stop>\n<\/linearGradient>\n<\/defs>\n\n<\/symbol>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make the dough,<\/strong> combine the cornmeal and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add the warm water and oil, then knead for about 2 minutes until the dough is smooth, moist, and free of cracks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the filling,<\/strong> mix the coste\u00f1o cheese with the softened butter until lightly combined. Taste the cheese before adding any salt, since traditional coste\u00f1o cheese is naturally quite salty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shape the empanadas,<\/strong> divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll them into balls. Place each ball between two lightly oiled sheets of plastic and press into a thin 13 cm (5-inch) round. Add about 2 tablespoons of cheese to the center, fold the dough over, and firmly seal the edges with your fingers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fry the empanadas,<\/strong> heat the oil over medium-high heat and fry in batches for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve immediately,<\/strong> bring the empanadas to the table while hot, with Colombian hot sauce and suero coste\u00f1o on the side for serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chef\u2019s tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use firm coste\u00f1o cheese; overly moist cheese can cause the empanadas to split while frying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the unused dough covered with a clean towel so it does not dry out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not overfill the rounds, since the cheese needs room to warm without breaking the dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fry over medium-high heat; cooler oil will make the empanadas absorb too much oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across Colombia\u2019s Caribbean coast, you may also find empanadas filled with ground beef, shredded chicken, or meat and potato. Some cooks use white cornmeal, although yellow corn dough is especially common for its golden color and familiar flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to serve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve Caribbean-style cheese empanadas fresh from the fryer with Colombian hot sauce, suero coste\u00f1o, or both. They are a traditional breakfast or snack, especially good with black coffee, coffee with milk, or a regional fruit drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended accompaniments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Suero coste\u00f1o.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colombian hot sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black coffee or coffee with milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corozo juice or tamarind juice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food tradition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coste\u00f1o cheese is one of the ingredients most closely associated with Colombian Caribbean cooking. Its salty flavor and firm texture make it ideal for fried foods, arepas, corn cakes, and empanadas, where it creates a distinctly coastal flavor without requiring an elaborate filling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colombian Caribbean-style empanadas are a classic snack from the country\u2019s northern coast.

Avoid very creamy or moist cheeses because they can release liquid and cause the dough to break open while frying. Taste your cheese first, then add salt only if it truly needs it."},{"question":"Can I make these empanadas with white cornmeal?","answer":"Yes. White pre-cooked cornmeal will give you a very similar texture, but the empanadas will have a paler color. Keep the dough soft and moist as you work. If it begins to crack, add 15 ml of warm water and knead it again briefly."},{"question":"Can I freeze them before frying?","answer":"Yes. Arrange the assembled empanadas on a tray without letting them touch and freeze for 2 hours. Transfer them to an airtight freezer bag afterward. Fry directly from frozen over medium heat so the cheese warms through before the dough becomes too dark."}],"_recetas123_show_faqs":"1","footnotes":""},"categories":[161,185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombian-recipes","category-entradas-colombianas","entry","has-media"],"yoast_head":"<!--
