I made empanada at the Century Tuna Cooking Class!

One rainy Saturday afternoon I made my way to Ortigas to join a hands-on cooking workshop by Century Tuna.

It was held at Century Tuna's test kitchen.

We were divided into groups of four and I joined fellow mommy bloggers Rochelle, Michelle, and Jennifer. We were going to prepare six (6) dishes! We decided to each take charge of preparing one dish each then whoever finished early would go on to make the remaining ones. I tell you if it were a race we would've won lol because we finished way ahead of everybody else. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Everybody got dibs on what dishes they would be in charge of and I somehow found myself assigned to the Century Corned Tuna Empanada. On paper it seemed pretty simple to do since the recipe went like this:

Century Corned Tuna Empanada

Filling:

• 2 180g cans of Century Corned Tuna


• 1 cup grated cheese

Dough:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
