What are Saltenas?

From the ground of Bolivia comes Saltenas, a hearty pastry full of meat, spices, olive and vegetables. Saltenas are a form of Empanadas, Latin inspired by bread hybrid and dumplings. Bolivian food is considered to be time -consuming and demanding to work, so Saltenas is usually difficult to find.

Culinary historians widely acknowledge that Juan Manuel Gorriti created Saltenas when she lived in Bolivia. Salten literally translates from Spanish as a "female citizen of salts". They have an element of sweets that are found both in the body and in the filling. The dough is a complex mixture of flour, lard, water and gelatin. This mixture results in a soft age that is rich in taste and strong enough to make its filling. The filling is a spicy combination of meat such as chicken or ground beef, cumin, olives, potatoes, raisins and boiled eggs. The result is a turn -style turn that usually toHe onzumates his hands.

, however, most of the Bolivians prefer Saltenas with one hand, because the filling is closed in their own juices, it can be a messy enterprise. Spoons are recommended eating dishes. Although many people enjoy Saltenas themselves, they are usually served with Llaju, jalapeno sauce and Mokochinchi, a type of sweet peach tea.
