Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/3 cup cold water
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup black olives, chopped
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and rub it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Knead briefly on a floured surface, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 3In a skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper until soft. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon.
- 4Stir in paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before adding olives and hard-boiled eggs.
- 5Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 6Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut circles using a 4-inch round cutter.
- 7Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef filling in the center of each circle. Fold over and pinch or crimp the edges to seal.
- 8Place empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- 9Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
