Bison Empanadas Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Bison Filling

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until onion is translucent. Add ground bison, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the bison is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. 2

   Assemble the Empanadas

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Take an empanada dough disc and place about 2 tablespoons of the bison filling in the center. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

3. 3

   Brush and Bake

   Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
