Marie's Empanada Filling image

Hello, I knew someone who was a volunteer at my job,Who made Empanadas and I loved them so much I went home and made them myself. Unfortunately I had sense lost the recipe. I asked around. I looked on the net and after taking in the suggestions on the recipe, this is what I came up with.. They turned well excepted. My recipe is not precise I estimated the seasonings. Feel free to adjust it to your liking.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound(s) hamburger
1 medium spanish onion
4 clove(s) garlic
1/2 - green bell pepper
1/2 - red bell pepper
4 medium potatos
1/2 cup(s) rice
2 package(s) sazon goya with coriander and annatto
2 tablespoon(s) goya recaito ( cilantro cooking base
1/2 jar(s) goya sorrito ( tomato cooking base
4 package(s) goya empanada disks ( or you can make the doe)
- water
jar(s) spanish olives
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- oil to deep fry with

Steps:

  • Dice Onions
  • Mince or Crush Garlic Cloves
  • Add about 2 Tables spoons of Olive oil to your pan. Let it heat up and place Diced Onions and Garlic cloves in the pan for a few minutes to allow onion to sweat. Remove the onion and garlic from the pan to a bowl for later.
  • In A 2 quart pan, cook hamburger. (While cooking Hamburger continue your prep work.) Once cooked drain off the fat.
  • Dice Bell peppers and cube potatoes.
  • Add Garlic, Onion, peppers, potatoes and rice to the pot of cooked hamburger.
  • And Seasoning, Cover with water until everything is covered. Bring it to a boil. Lower the heat,cover and let it simmer until the liquid absorbs and the potato and rice are cooked. Let it set to cool off. I put mine in 2 bowls and placed them in the fridge. I found they work better when the mixture is cooled off enough to work with. The flavors marinade.
  • I filled my empananda shells and place 2 whole olives in each one. You can cut them in half, I did the last time I cooked them. But the whole olive works wonders. You can deep fry them for a couple of minutes in a deep fryer or on the stove until they are as brown as you like. They can be baked But I have never done it.
