Okay, after reading these reviews, I have a suggestion that makes this a fabulous dish! Go to Alton Brown's version of empandas on this Website and make his dough and his mango curry. Then take this recipe and make everything minus the oil, which seems to not have been all that popular here and combine the two into one empanada. In short, it is delicious--sort of lamb curry with a mango relish. Very tasty!

I watched Guy make this on TV, while I was working out at the raquet club. It sounded great, what with his Mom and Aunts cheering him on and telling him how great it tasted. When I was finished with my workout I pulled up the recipe on my iphone to get the ingredient list. It was garbled, had some bizarre and unrelated instructions in the recipe, but I attributed that to the iphone. Went to the store, got the ingredients. When I pulled up the recipe at home on the desktop with foodnetwork.com, the recipe was dramatically different. Well, I made it to the best of my abilities, combining the two recipes and was so disappointed. What a lot of work and expense, and it was awful. I don't get how these supposedly great TV personalities can put their name on awful recipes.

I am not a fan of curry , so I was going to omIt it anyway. I appreciate the reading that it isn't a good idea to add it. I rated based on how I think the recipe will turn out based on modifications suggested by other reviewers.

Sorry other 2 writers had problems. I am not so good at making my own dough so I went to the Latin Market and bought ready made empanada dough. Instead of baking the empanadas, I fried them and they were superb. I did not plum the raisins in rum choosing to use them as is because juice of meat will cause them to plum up. I also used adobo (garlic,onion, black pepper, and oregano mixture a little at a time and the flavor just kicked up. I really loved the taste. I did it both way and both ways came out good.

Here is a recipe I created off of guy's empanadas for my MORE ROCKIN' BURGERS:

1/3 cup rum
1/2 chopped sweet onion
4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 jalapeno pepper (seeded
1 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro

Add all ingredients to a bowl with 1 lb or so of ground meat (any kind but I used ground chicken. Create 4 patties and cook them. Don't worry if they crumble a little or stick to the pan. This is a great way to remix this recipe to make great tasting burgers.

Serve burgers with your favorite condiments.

Absolutely terrible. The dough was tough and leaden. The curry oil was a waste of time, dirtied an extra pan and a strainer, and made the filling way too greasy. Just saute the lamb and veggies in a little oil and add the spices. If you insist on making this, add some curry powder and mango chutney to the yogurt and use your favorite savory pie crust recipe.
