Speecy Spicy

Hunting & Gathering

Beef: it's what's for dinner. Especially if it's contained within the flaky empanada crust rolled and shaped by the Argentinian masterminds at Peperonata Pasta & Empanadas. Spiced with the deep flavors only found in South America and chopped and tossed with egg and raisins, the empanadas from Peperonata often cause a mile-long line to form outside its booth at the Sarasota Farmers Market, even at 9am. For good reason—the steaming hot contents of the traditional savory pastry pockets can't be beat and sell out fast. Luckily, they have a storefront filled daily with fresh empanadas and hand-made pastas to satiate your weekday cravings.  

Peperonata Pasta & Empanadas, 4141 South Tamiami Trl., Sarasota, 941-870-2729.
