Re: Does anyone havea recipe for empanada filling

This is one recipe I've been using. I sometimes put potato in mine too. I'll boil them until they are soft and then cut it up and put it into the already made mix.

2 lbs ground beef
2 small potatoes, diced into one inch cubes and boiled until soft
1 onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
5 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup green olives, finely chopped
2 hardboiled eggs, coarsely chopped
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup raisins, soaked in warm water for 1 hour
1 teaspoon oil

PREPARATION:
Sauté the onions and garlic in the oil over medium heat for 1 minute. Put the ground beef in and begin to brown. When the beef is cooked through, add in the broth, green olives, raisins and bring to a simmer.

I make this one all the time! They are always a hit!

Empanadas

10 white or yellow Goya discos (I prefer the yellow) – they are in the frozen food section
1 lb of chopped meat (or ground turkey)
1 clove garlic
2 slices onion diced small
1/4 green pepper diced small
1/4 red pepper diced small
1 packet Goya Sazon con Culantro y achiote
1 packet Goya chicken broth powder
onion powder (good sprinkle to cover lightly)
Goya Adobo (good sprinkle to cover lightly)
Shredded cheese (I use the taco blend)
Olive Oil

Thaw out the Discos for about 2 hours before you start

Place the chop meat in a large skillet with the heat on medium

Add Garlic, Onions, Red & Green Pepper

Stir until beef browns and juice develops (a few minutes)

Add the powdered ingredients, stir nicely, be sure every area is seasoned

Let heat a bit, let stand on low for a few minutes.

Take the discos one at a time, and roll them with a rolling pin a little thinner and bigger. Scoop in two tablespoons of filling and sprinkle some shredded cheese on top, placing in the middle of the discos. Fold over.

Fork the edges together, continue until done (you may have some meat left over)

In a large frying pan heat a few cups of olive oil and fry each empanada 2 minutes on each side. Drain well on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.
