Island Palate: Empanadas

[@paulmw5508]

Retired Chamorro Army Lieutenant Colonel here, now living in Virginia. This was an AWESOME public affairs video Maj. Fisher. Thanks for promoting a major part of the Chamorro culture ("delicious food") during your tour on the island. And, as one who grew up on Guam with a Chamorro mother and haole father from Minnesota, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your tour on Guam back in 2014.

If you're stranded on the big island (the states), you can buy a tortilla press at a Mexican store. My sister makes about 50 at a time. They don't last long.

[@fejerangelaine]

Sonya and Major, so in the making of the dough, do you add only 1/3 cup of oil; what about water, do you add water to the dough too?

[@roseanfimwan]

What are the ingredients for Tomales Gisu. I watched the video, but not familiar with one ingredient.

[@maureenannethompson5031]

Where do you buy the ingredients what’s the red stuff I never heard of the ingredients

[@jessicacox2999]

Hafa adai Maureen. It's called Achiote. You can get it in powder, seeds or paste. They sale it in the Mexican part of the grocery store.

When I was a little child, I always thought Empanada was Apple Turnover. But apparently not.

[@CHAM0RRITO]

does anybody make a different kind of empanada? with other types of fillings?

[@nelsonborja700]

Chamo rrito tried one with spam & chilli filling

[@SoniaHernandez-tq9fd]

I always use diced chicken, bell pepper, onions and celery. Also, I make my chalakiles from scratch, toasting and grinding the rice. There's a big difference in flavor.

one person doesn't know, what he's missing.
