My parents own and run a small Salteña restaurant in Santa Cruz Bolivia. Every week they prepare the ingredients and assemble dozens and dozens of these meat pockets of Bolivian goodness for the big weekend sales rush.
This is just a short video of the preperation process that was filmed over three days.
If your ever in Santa Cruz, head over to Raffys salteñas!!
A salteña is a type of baked empanada from Bolivia.
Salteñas are savory pastries filled with beef, pork or chicken mixed in a sweet, slightly spicy or very spicy sauce, and sometimes also containing peas, eggs, olives, raisins, potatoes and other ingredients.
