The days lengthen and our eyes turn to grassy spots for outdoor dining to soak up the sun! Whether you plan to eat in your backyard, a local park, or a trail, why not take a bit of the Spanish table with you? The star of this class is the Spanish empanada, the predecesor to empanadas worldwide. If it's new to you, you might be surprised this version is pie-shaped and typically filled with tuna. Wrapped in dough that you'll make from scratch, it'll be accompanied by other dishes ready to feed you on your next adventure!
