Prepare the dough for empanadas by mixing flour and water until it forms a smooth consistency.

Roll out the dough into circles about 6 inches in diameter.

In a bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onions, raisins, diced hard-boiled eggs, and chopped olives.

Season the beef mixture with cumin, oregano, and paprika, mixing well to combine.

Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.

For cheese empanadas, fill the dough with a mixture of queso fresco and mozzarella instead of the beef mixture.

For seafood empanadas, use a filling of shrimp, mussels, and clams cooked in a creamy white wine sauce.

Bake the empanadas in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Prepare cazuela by placing chunks of meat (beef, chicken, or pork) in a large pot with water to create a broth.

Add chopped potatoes, corn on the cob, carrots, squash, and pumpkin to the pot.

Season the broth with salt and pepper, then bring to a simmer.

Slow cook the cazuela for about 1-2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
