ARGENTINEAN EMPANADAS RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Argentinean Empanadas Recipe - Food.com image

Empanadas are very popular as a street food in South America. Essentially, it is a crescent-shaped pastry with a filling, which may vary greatly by region or preference. Empanadas can be fried or baked, and may use a variety of fillings from meat or seafood to fruit or cheese. While this recipe uses the filling most popular in Buenos Aires, you can fill an empanada with virtually anything you please, so experiment! Tip: A recipe for empanada dough is given here, but they can be found in the frozen pastry section of many specialty or Hispanic groceries. If you are in a rush or just feeling lazy, frozen puff pastry can serve as an adequate substitute. Note: To the reviewer who said the flavor did not seem authentic, you probably haven't had meat empanadas from Argentina then! I am Argentine, and the ground beef empanadas you find there *always* have cumin. Other cultures may have different fillings.

Total Time 1 hours 55 minutes

Prep Time 1 hours 15 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 15-20 empanadas, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 -2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold margarine or 3/4 cup butter, cut into small cubes
2 eggs
2/3 cup cold water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 lb ground beef (or turkey or chicken for a lower-fat variation)
4 hard-boiled eggs
1 cup stuffed green olive
handful raisins (optional. This is supposedly a common ingredient, but I have never used them)
1 large onion
3 garlic cloves
2 -3 tablespoons ground cumin powder
1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, mix the sifted flour and salt in a large bowl.
  • Mix in the solid margarine or butter with your fingers, (best to cross cut with two knives). The flour should have an even, coarse texture, with the margarine lumps no larger than a pea.
  • Beat together the water, eggs, and vinegar in a bowl. Slowly mix into the flour mixture, until you have the desired consistency (it should not be too sticky, but still malleable).
  • Place the mixture on a floured surface. Knead with the heel of your hand to bring the dough together.
  • Cover the dough and allow to sit in a cool place for at least an hour.
  • Roll out the dough until it is about 1/8 of an inch (0.3 cm) thick. Cut into circles about 4-6 inches (10 - 15 cm) in diameter and lightly flour them.
  • Heat some oil in a large saucepan. Mince the onions and garlic, and add to the pan. Cook until the onions become translucent.
  • Add the ground meat. Break it up with with a spoon and cook, stirring until lightly browned. Drain off fat.
  • Mix in the cumin, pepper flakes, and sugar. Adjust to taste.
  • Chop the hard boiled eggs and halve the stuffed olives. Carefully mix into the meat mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF/200ºC.
  • Stuff the empanada dough wrappers. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Dampen the outer perimeter of the dough.
  • Fold over, forming a semicircle. Pinch a corner of the dough, and then fold that section onto itself. Pinch and pull out another 1/2-inch (1.2 cm) section and fold over, so that it slightly overlaps the first piece. Repeat along the length of the folded side, until you create a braided or twisted seal.
  • If desired, brush the tops of the empanadas with beaten egg yolk for a nice golden color.
  • Place the folded empanadas on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

ARGENTINIAN BEEF EMPANADAS RECIPE | BON APPéTIT



Argentinian Beef Empanadas Recipe | Bon Appétit image

The addition of green olives and raisins to filling in these baked beef empanadas compliments the rich flavors of the cumin, paprika oregano, and cayenne.

Provided by Gaby Melian

Yield Makes about 36

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 lb. ground beef (20% fat)
2 medium onions, chopped
2 small red bell peppers, seeded, chopped
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3 Tbsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. sweet paprika
1 Tbsp. dried oregano
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1½ cups low-sodium chicken stock or broth
2 tsp. sugar
½ cup raisins
3 packages (12 each) Puff Pastry Dough for Turnovers/Empanadas (preferably Goya)
½ cup pitted green olives (Picholine or Spanish), rinsed well, cut in half lengthwise

Steps:

  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over high. Cook beef, breaking up with a spoon, until browned but not completely cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving as much fat in pan as possible.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook onion, bell peppers, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, stirring, until tender but not browned, 6–8 minutes; season with salt and black pepper. Add cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken stock and reserved beef along with any accumulated juices to pot. Stir in sugar, 4 tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, until most of the liquid is evaporated, 15–20 minutes; taste and season with salt and black pepper, if needed. Stir in raisins. Transfer to a medium bowl, cover, and chill at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375°. Let dough sit at room temperature 15 minutes to temper. Remove 6 rounds from package, keeping plastic divider underneath, and arrange on a work surface. Place 2 Tbsp. filling in the center of each round. Top with 2 olive halves. Brush water around half of outer edge of each round. Using plastic divider to help you, fold round over filling and pinch edges to seal. Using a fork, crimp edges. Remove plastic and transfer empanada to a parchment-lined sheet tray, spacing 1" apart. Repeat with remaining rounds (you’ll get about 12 empanadas on each tray).
  • Bake empanadas, rotating tray halfway through, until golden brown and slightly darker around the edges, 25–35 minutes.
  • Do Ahead: Filling can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Unbaked empanadas can be made 3 months ahead; freeze on sheet tray, then transfer to freezer bags and keep frozen.

CREOLE EMPANADAS (ARGENTINA) RECIPE - FOOD.COM
This recipe is from "The Real Taste of Latin America - A Culinary Tour". I haven't tried them yet, actually I haven't tried any of the recipes from this book, but I'm saving them on here because the book has to go back to the library today. I've copied this word for word, except for my additions put it "[]", so if it's confusing, that would be the book's fault. Also the time does not include chilling time for the filling. I've also just realised the recipe does not specify an oven temperature. Other recipes for empanadas that I have seem to bake theirs for 20 - 30 minutes at around 375 F.
