Why we ❤️ it
If you've ever made our pastelitos recipes you may be having a sense of déjà vu... You're not seeing things, this was part of the pastelitos recipe before. We've now given it its own home, but we've also improved the recipe, so you'll be glad to try this.
Aunt Ilana and I have been brainstorming ideas to improve the content for our ever-growing vegetarian and vegan readership, something that we've always thought important. So I wanted to make this real simple vegetarian stuffing recipe more flavorful, richer, and worthy of being stuffed into our beloved pastelitos and empanadas.
I think I've succeeded beyond my expectations.
Vegan vegatable mix stuffing for empanadas and pastelitos.
About this recipe
This veggie stuffing recipe works not just despite, but because of its simplicity and the common, inexpensive ingredients in it. It has a richness of flavor that surprised me, and not only is it great to make picaderas, it is also a great side dish in itself.
