Mushroom Empanadas
Dear Readers, here I have for you my Empanada recipe , one that is really tasty and easy to prepare , for the ones that do not know what an Empanada is , let me explain is a stuffed dough quite similar to a Calzonne , but different texture and flavor, is a common dish in the Latin american cuisine. On Peru we stuff our “Empanadas” with a lot of different stuffings, but the one that I will share with you today is not a common stuffing in Peru. Remember some of the tools/ingredients I use will be at the bottom of the post Mushroom Empanadas | Servings: 25 medium size “Empanadas” Ingredients : Steps: Sift dry ingredients and integrate them Add Butter and Shortening , integrate them, then add egg and water. Let the dough rest for 20 min While it rest lets make the stuffing: In a hot pan add butter , onions , let it cook until tender, then add flour , let it cook for 4 min. Once cooked add milk, mushrooms , half cup of cheese and olives, salt, pepper, turn off and let it rest Sprinkle some flour on a surface and roll your dough. With the help of a circular cutter (or bowl) shape your dough. Stuff your dough in one of the edges never in the center. Before closing the dough add one cheese cube, then with the help of a fork , seal the ends Last step is to egg wash your “Empanadas” and cook them at 350 F or 180 F for 30 to 35 min. That is guys , if you never made Empanadas before, it might look hard but its actually pretty fun , try it out and make your kids or friends help you! Some Tools/Ingredients I used on this recipe:
