Empanadas stuffed with a mixture of beef, olive and boiled egg are popular in South American countries throughout the Andes Mountains.
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
4 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and cut into quarters
Basic Empanada Dough (see recipe)
1 egg yolk
Instructions: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onion and cook 6-8 minutes or until the onion is browned and soft.
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the beef, tomatoes and olives and cook 10-12 minutes or until the beef is browned and liquid has evaporated. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool.
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the dough into 12 portions and roll into 5-inch circles about 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Place about 2 tablespoons beef filling into the center of each circle and top with a piece of hard-cooked egg.
Brush the outside edge of dough with water and fold in half over filling. Press firmly to seal, and crimp the edges with a fork. Place the empanadas on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the empanadas with the egg wash and bake 30 for minutes or until golden brown.
Substitution note: You could replace the beef with ground pork, chicken or turkey. Any type of sliced or chopped olive can be used instead of kalamata olives.
