Empenadas are in fact not South American in origin, although they are closely associated with South American cousine. In fact, they are European, specifically spanish. They were particularly easy to make, and although we undercooked them, they were delicious. We used a sweet recipe utilizing nutella and strawberry jam instead of a savory alternative. After doing some research later I learned a valuable secret of using egg whites to seal the pastry shut, which probably would have helped the professionalism of our plate. http://www.wikipedia.org/

Salsa: A spicy sauce of chopped, usually uncooked vegetables or fruit, especially
tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers, used as a condiment. http://www.dictionary.com/
Other great salsas include pico de gallo, salsa verde and mexican corn salsa. Jalapenos are traditionally grown in mexico but they are now grown all over the world. Wiki My entire kitchen group had to take test retakes this particular day, leaving me to make salsa on my lonesome. It wasnt terrible, but due to poor dicing technique, neglecting to remove tomato seeds and a slip of the wrist when applying salt it a unique flavor and texture.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I failed to procure a recipe for the Brasiliera cookies, and google yielded no recipe or pictures. Additionally, despite participating in the preperation I failed to really grasp now the sugar drip technique worked. So much sugar ended up wasted in the bottom of the cup it seemed inefficient. What I can say is that the cookies turned out to be fantastic, the best cookies I have had in a long time. I am planning to get ahold of that recipe and have Ellie explain the sugar drip. They were compact and chewy, but had an amazingly subtle crispy crunchy texture.
