I have an anecdote about this because in a hiring process, during the assessment the interviewer asked me to describe about cook a plate of food. Really, I didn't know how to say many terminus that explain in this course.

For a dozen of empanadas:

A half kilogram of empanada tapas (I don’t know the English word for tapas)
A half kilogram of minced meat.
Two onions
Two garlic cloves (cloves or garlic?)
A half red bell pepper
One tomato
two tablespoons of tomato puree
A handful of olives
cayenne (I’m not sure what the correct word for “pimentón” is, I thought of pepper but pepper is like “pimienta”)
cumin
salt and pepper

Recipe

In a saucepan with hot oil, add the onions and the red bell pepper. Roast them slightly for a couple of minutes. When the onion becomes transparent, add the garlic and a little of salt and pepper.
Increase the heat and add all the minced meat. Stir it so it does stick. When the meat is sealed add the tomatoes chopped in dices and two tablespoons of tomato puree. Flavor it with cayenne, cumin, a little more salt and pepper and mix it. Cover it and cook it for half an hour, while skillet.
Turn off the fire and let the saucepan get cold. Add chopped olives and mix well. You can add other ingredients here like egg, potatoes, etc. if you like.
Put the preparation in the tapas and close them. Brush them with a yolk egg. Leave them in the oven dishes and they are ready for the oven. And done!
