Step-by-step
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the shortening till pieces are the size of small peas. Add a small amount of water to slightly moisten. Form dough into a ball. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into 4-inch circles. Lightly flour both sides of circles.
- In a saucepan combine fruit, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat over medium heat until hot, thoroughly mixing.
- In a medium skillet saute the onion and green pepper in olive oil. Add tomato paste, water, and vinegar, and cook for 20 minutes. Add meat and coat thoroughly with the sauce.
- Place a large spoonful of one of the above mixtures to the center of a dough circle. Place another circle on top. Fasten the two circles together by pressing the edges with a fork. These may then be baked in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until golden brown.
As a busy housewife, I'm always on the lookout for delicious and satisfying meals that I can make for my family. This Empanadas recipe is one of my favorites because it's easy to make and everyone loves it. The dough is flaky and flavorful, and the fillings are savory and satisfying. I like to use a variety of fillings, such as ground beef, chicken, or pork, but you can use whatever you like. The possibilities are endless!
Empanadas are also a great way to use up leftovers. If you have some leftover meat or vegetables, you can simply add them to the filling. This is a great way to save money and reduce food waste. Plus, it's a delicious way to enjoy your leftovers!
