Empanadas senza latticini
Luis non fornisce molti dettagli, lasciando spazio alla creatività di chi cucina. Abbiamo però aggiunto qualche nota per chiarire. Per la pasta puoi usare quella già pronta o anche la pasta sfoglia. In commercio ci sono molte versioni senza latticini. Oppure puoi preparare un impasto fatto in casa, come la mia pasta brisée al burro. Io ometterei lo zucchero e, se vuoi, puoi usare in parte un grasso vegetale sostenibile.
Ingredienti
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 red bell pepper (chopped)
- 1 white onion (chopped)
- 1 pound give or take ground beef, turkey, or chicken (or vegetarian ground round)
- 4 hardboiled eggs (chopped (see note above for egg-free option))
- Stuffed Spanish olives (chopped (as many as you like!))
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pinch ground cumin
- Pastry dough (dairy-free)
- 1 egg yolk (see note above for egg-free option)
Preparazione
- 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!)
