Empanada dipping sauce
This is a dipping sauce to accompany the beef empanadas that I published today, though it can be used for any type of empanadas - or used as a dip for corn chips, veggie sticks etc! Loosely based on a traditional Colombian sauce called hogao. Makes enough for 1 batch beef empanadas.
