Method
To Make Empanadas
1
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
2
Heat oil in a pan, add onions and spices and stir for about 2 minutes.
3
Add minced beef and stir until browned.
4
Add olives and season to taste with salt and pepper, before leaving to cool.
5
Cut rounds out of the pastry with a medium-size circle cutter.
6
Brush the borders with the egg.
7
Place 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the centre of each circle, discarding excess liquid to prevent pastry becoming soggy.
8
Fold pastry in half over the filling and press the borders with a fork or fingers to seal tightly.
9
Place the empanadas on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
10
Brush each with remaining egg to colour and then cook for 15-20 minutes.
