Pork Empanada – 4th Pinoy Food Recipe

-

This Pinoy food is like a pie. But instead of having a fruity filling inside, it has meat filling in it. Aside for having a delicious taste inside and out, this Pinoy food is also healthy because it uses ingredients such as tomato sauce which contain Lycopene which is good for preventing cancer. After having a good sleep after lunch time, it’s time to prepare merienda for the kids.
They might just ask you for money to buy what they want but it is always a good option to just prepare merienda for them. Here in the Philippines, we get used to have merienda during 1500h or 1600h when the kids are awaken on their afternoon sleeping time because we get used to ask our kids to go to bed after lunch time to make them grow faster.
While they are sleeping, it’s time for you to prepare their reward. Their merienda! Here is a good Pinoy food recipe for Empanada.

Ingredients:
for the Empanada dough
3 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of salt
half a cup of water
1 egg
1 egg white
1 teaspon of vinegar
3 tablespoons of shortening
Preparation:
Start by preparing your empanada dough. In a bowl beat water, egg, egg white and vinegar together. Set this aside. In another bowl, mix together the flour and the salt. Put the shortening into the flour mix using a pastry blender to be sure they are evenly mix. Put a well in the middle and pour the liquid ingredients from the first bowl into the center. Mix them altogether until it becomes stiff and they don’t stick to your fingers anymore. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it just until all the flour is incorporated and the dough is smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but never more than 24 hours.

Empanada Filling
half a medium size onion chopped
1 garlic clove minced
half a teaspoon of cumin powder
half a teaspoon of dried oregano
half a kilo of ground beef (you can also eat cooked chicken meat shredded or cooked pork meat chopped)
one small can of tomato sauce
one tablespoon of dried raisins
1 tablespoon of pimiento chopped
some cooking oil
salt and pepper

Cooking the Empanada filling:
In a casserole warm up your oil. Sauté the garlic and onion. Add your meat, put the spices, salt, pepper, cumin and oregano. Add your tomato sauce , riasins and pimiento. Let it simmer.

Making the Empanada:
Once the empanada dough is ready, flatten them and make circles using any rounded tool you have at home. Put your desired filling in the middle. Close it and crimp the sides using a fork. Fry them on deep casserole with hot oil for three to four minutes or until they are golden brown.
That’s the end of the 4th Pinoy food recipe for Empanada. Go ahead and wake up the kids to let them taste your masterpiece of work. Enjoy!
