Filling and Dough

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add butter and mix until crumbly. Gradually add warm water until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine shredded rabbit, raisins, chopped almonds, mashed roasted plantains, and mole coloradito. Mix well until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Empanadas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles (about 4 inches in diameter). Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and seal the edges with a fork.

  4. 4

    Bake the Empanadas

    Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, combine mixed greens, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the empanadas warm with the spring salad on the side.
