The rissole is another French pastry pocket filled with sweet or savoury ingredients in many regions of the country. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, it seems, the world of food \u2013 and especially so-called street food \u2013 is a large family of cousins and distant relatives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A proper empanada, however, is one that is constructed with a judicious balance of beef, chicken, or vegetable stuffing that is not overwhelmed by the dough \u2013 or by an unnecessarily heavy, dense dough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The handheld can be stuffed with virtually anything making it very versatile; they also can come in different sizes: an empanada gallega is a pie-like dish large enough to feed a family, while the diminutive, empanaditas, are \u201clittle empanadas.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The empanada maker prepares a pastry dough and rolls out a circular, thin disk of dough and then adds the filling before folding it in half into a pocket and closing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The edge of semi-circle is often trimmed and detailed artfully, the crimping often used to signify the type of filling inside the empanada. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A bit of travel to find authentic empanadas<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sadly, there are few places to enjoy empanadas in our region. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can find them in boxed frozen form in grocery stores\u2019 snack and appetizer freezer cases, but they don\u2019t do the humble pastry much justice.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For now, some travel is required to find real empanadas.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">West of Ottawa, in Carp, Ont., is the base for Delights by Mama where sisters-in-law Jessica Gutierrez (a Carleton University grad) and Ivana Hernandez (an Algonquin College grad) make a range of empanada flavours and stuffings that you can find at farmers\u2019 markets in and around Ottawa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The two specialize in the Argentine and Colombian versions of the empanada and also make aji sauce, a green sauce made with cilantro that is akin to chimichurri; they also make the Argentine confection alfajores, a pastry that often includes the delectable dulce de leche.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gutierrez and Hernandez\u2019s handheld handiwork, according to the pair, is made in the Argentine tradition of a bite to \u201ctame your hunger\u201d as you await a bit of beef from the huge chunk that is being slowly cooked over a smouldering \u201casado,\u201d or open-pit barbecue.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Scaling operations may help our sourcing of empanadas<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Good things come to those who wait \u2013 including when it comes to empanadas: Delights by Mama empanadas are, at the time of this writing, scheduled to be found at this season\u2019s Navan and Orleans markets, 613flea (Aberdeen Pavilion in Lansdowne Park), Parkdale Night Market (Wednesdays), Urban Art Collective Market (Thursdays) and the Beechwood Market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Delights by Mama will be at festivals in the area, and they pop up at the Canadian Tire Centre during Ottawa Senators games until April 17. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">According to Gutierrez, the small mom-and-mom company is planning \u201cto scale our operations\u201d to include selling empanadas into a variety of shops in Ottawa and outlying areas, but the small pocket of street food deliciousness has even more ambitious plans, she hints, that we can look forward to.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cOur biggest project, which we\u2019re very proud of, is our upcoming brick-and-mortar shop on Stittsville Main Street, and we hope it is set to open in summer 2025,\u201d says Gutierrez. \u201cThis will be a production kitchen, which will allow us to provide regular deliveries to clients and offer a space for customers to purchase fresh empanadas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That\u2019s great news for a small food operation that focusses on local ingredients \u2013 including preparing gluten-free, vegetarian and Halal foods \u2013 for a local consumer market. Let\u2019s hope they can find a place for their empanadas in stores in our neighbourhoods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Food writer Andrew Coppolino lives in Rockland.
