About this dish

Salteñas are savory pastries filled with beef, pork or chicken mixed in a sweet, slightly spicy sauce containing ají, potatoes and sometimes egg. Vegetarian salteñas are sometimes available at certain restaurants. Salteñas are filled with a juicy gelatin-based stew that is solid when prepared, but melts when they are baked; the pastry is hard and sweet, not like other empanadas.
