Empanadas sin lácteos
Luis no da muchos detalles, para dejar que quien cocina dé rienda suelta a su creatividad. Pero hemos añadido algunas notas aclaratorias. Para la masa, puedes usar masa comprada o incluso hojaldre. Hay muchas versiones sin lácteos en el mercado. También puedes preparar una masa casera, como mi masa quebrada con mantequilla. Yo omitiría el azúcar y, si quieres, puedes usar una parte de grasa vegetal sostenible.
Ingredientes
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 red bell pepper (chopped)

- Black pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pinch ground cumin

Preparación
- 1
Wash your hands. Put your apron on. Let’s cook!

Have an adult heat the oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add the red peppers and onions. Stir them around for 5 minutes. Watch out, it’s hot! Now, slowly add the meat, and mix it all together. Make sure you don’t overcook the meat.

Stir the chopped eggs into the meat. Pour it all into a big bowl. It smells great!

Add the olives to the mixture. Sprinkle on a bit of pepper and a pinch of salt (or to taste). Now, add a big pinch of the special ingredient: ground cumin. Cumin gives the empanadas their special taste. It’s going to be great!

On a dry table, with dry hands, sprinkle some flour and roll the dough flat with a rolling pin. Use a cookie cutter to cut big circles out of the dough. Push and rotate the cutter to get the circles out. Shake the extra flour off. You can use a brush or use your fingers to put a little bit of water right around the edge. It’s like finger painting!

Add some of the warm mixture to the middle of a pastry circle. Fold it over all the way so the edges touch. For a perfect empanada, use a fork to make marks around the edges. I think 20 should be enough. Do the same for all the empanadas and put them on a baking sheet.

To make them golden brown, paint them with an egg yolk.

Then get Mom or Dad to put the tray in a hot oven at 350º F (180º C) and bake for 35 minutes. Yummy! (Let them cool before digging in!)
