    This dish is perfect.. The perfect empanada... and is not designed to be cut short of ingredients at all to make healthier. Yes the lard is better for taste. I might try switching the oregano for cilantro some time. Great dish!!!!

    lard is just as healthy as butter or olive oil; pig fat (at least pigs with good, non-factory farm diets) is made up mostly of mono and polyunsaturated fats. the lard really will make better.

    For those who are interested in "health foods"... what is the likelihood of substituting something such as olive oil or butter, for the lard? Do you think that would work, or does the lard make a large difference in the consistency?
