Empanadas and Sides

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Empanada Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the olive oil and mix until crumbly. Gradually add warm water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    While the dough is resting, prepare your choice of filling by sautéing vegetables or mixing cooked lentils with spices. Allow to cool.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Empanadas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Place a tablespoon of filling on one half of each circle. Fold the dough over and crimp the edges to seal.

  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

    Serve

    In a bowl, serve 2 empanadas alongside a scoop of Spanish rice and a generous portion of Grandma's black beans. Drizzle with salsa or your sauce of choice.
