Super tasty, sweet, and salty beef empanadas from my mom’s recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic, or more to taste
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 pinch ground paprika, or to taste
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
- 2 large egg yolks, beaten
- ½ cup pimiento-stuffed green olives, chopped
- ½ cup raisins
- 1 sprig fresh parsley
- 20 pieces empanada pastry discs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until soft
- about 5 minutes. Add ground beef
- paprika
- salt
- and pepper; cook and stir until browned and crumbly
- 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl.
- Mix hard-boiled eggs
- olives
- raisins
- and parsley into the meat mixture.
- Using a spoon or your fingers
- take a little of the ground beef mixture and place it in the middle of the dough discs. Fold the disc over and crimp the edges on both sides with the fork
- leaving an indentation in the dough. Coat the outsides of the empanadas with egg yolk using a brush and place on a flat baking sheet.
