We made pretty standard black bean empanadas with caramelized onions, peppers (bell and jalapeño), black beans and a variety of hot sauce. I also added a bit of sesame oil and peanut oil for some flavor (but not too much). We used the usual dough but it came together a bit softer. It may have been that I used bread flour. I was disappointed as I made it, but it actually worked and rolled out better than usual.

The french onion soup was the normal based on this post, again with yellow onions. I let them really cook down but not caramelize. I made a lot so I used about 7 cups of water and a cup of white wine (I think pinot grigio but I don't remember). I used Better Than Bouillon (Low sodium), chicken and beef, and ended up adding some more as I tasted it. I was pretty happy with how it tuned out. We did the usual Arnolds Roll croutons and cheese melted with the creme brulee torch.
