Ingredients List:
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 2 Large Onions, Minced
- 2 TBSP of Oil
- 1/2 tsp Oregano
- 1/2 tsp of Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 1 TBSP Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 3 Hard Boiled Eggs, Quartered
- 30 Raisins
- 24 Olives
- Empanada Discs
- 1/4 Cup Beef Broth
- 1 Egg, Beaten
Preparation:
Heat oil in a large sauté pan. Add the onions and sauté over medium heat until softened, 3 minutes. Add the meat, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and beef broth. Cook until the meat is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Add the flour and cook until thickened, 2 minutes.
Let cool slightly before filling the empanadas. Fill each round of dough with 2 tablespoons of beef, a slice of hard-boiled egg, black olives and raisins.
Moisten the edge of the pastry with a little water and fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges firmly, crimping to seal. Brush the top of the empanadas with egg and water.
Bake in preheated 350°F for 30-35 until golden. Serve hot.
