Answer 2

Delicious and Simple Empanada Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

2 cups of flour

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

milk ( as needed)

2 tbsp solid vegetable shortening

2 cups vegetable oil

Recipe Instructions:

Directions:

Combine flour, salt and baking powder and sift together thoroughly. Using two dinner knives, cut shortening into flour mixture until mixed.

As you go along, add enough milk (water may be substituted) to slightly moisten dough. Dough should be easy to handle, but not sticky. (In the event that it becomes sticky,add a bit more flour.)

Let stand for about ten minutes. On a lightly floured wooden cutting board,roll dough until thin. Using a jar top,cut dough into eight circles, about four inches in diameter.

Place one heaping teaspoon of filling (see below) in middle of each circle. Fold dough over in half, then pinch edges together in a semicircle to hold in filling.

Heat oil in deep frying pan until a drop of water sizzles when it lands in the oil. Fry empanadas in oil until golden brown-about three minutes per side and drain on paper towels.

Beef Filling:

2 lbs ground beef

2 small potatoes, diced into one inch cubes and boiled until soft

1 onion, peeled and coarsely chopped

5 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped

1/4 cup green olives, finely chopped

2 hardboiled eggs, coarsely chopped

1 cup beef broth

1/2 cup raisins, soaked in warm water for 1 hour (optional)

1 teaspoon oil

Preparation:

Sauté the onions and garlic in the oil over medium heat for 1 minute. Put the ground beef in and begin to brown. When the beef is cooked through, add in the broth, green olives, raisins and bring to a simmer. Let the liquid reduce until it&#039;s almost gone. Fold in the eggs and potatoes and place by the spoonful into your prepared empanada dough and cook accordingly.

Answer 3

These meat pies are popular throughout Latin America, and Argentineans devour them with gusto at the start of any serious meal. This recipe uses won ton wrappers instead of pastry for the crust, and the empanadas are baked instead of fried. Aside from the obvious health benefits, using won ton wrappers makes assembling the empanadas quick and easy. Placing the uncooked empanadas on preheated baking sheets helps make them crisp.

Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped red potato

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 cup beef broth

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 pound boneless beef top sirloin, trimmed and diced

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon cold water

36 won ton wrappers

Cooking spray

Fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Combine first 10 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; simmer 8 minutes or until potato is done, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Cool.

Preheat oven to 400°. Place 2 baking sheets in oven for about 10 minutes.

Drain meat mixture in a colander over a bowl. Discard liquid. Finely chop meat mixture with a knife, or place in a food processor, and pulse 2 times or until finely chopped. Combine cornstarch and water, stirring with a whisk.

Working with one won ton wrapper at a time (cover the remaining won ton wrappers with a damp towel to keep them from drying), spoon 1 tablespoon beef mixture into center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of each wrapper with the cornstarch mixture. Bring 2 opposite corners together. Pinch the points to seal, forming a triangle. Place filled wrapper on a wire rack. Repeat the procedure with the remaining beef mixture, won ton wrappers, and cornstarch mixture.

Remove the baking sheets from the oven; coat baking sheets with cooking spray. Arrange the empanadas in a single layer on baking sheets. Coat the empanadas with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until golden, turning once. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
