Classic baked beef empanadas with a delightful blend of eggs, olives, and raisins.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic, or more to taste
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 pinch ground paprika, or to taste
  • 2 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 2 large egg yolks, beaten
  • 0.5 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives, chopped
  • 0.5 cup raisins
  • 1 sprig fresh parsley
  • 20 pieces empanada pastry discs
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute onions and garlic in olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, paprika, salt, and pepper; cook until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • Incorporate hard-boiled eggs, olives, raisins, and parsley into the meat mixture.
  • Take a small amount of the ground beef mixture and place it in the center of each dough disc. Fold the disc over and seal the edges with a fork, creating a decorative pattern. Brush the empanadas with egg yolk and arrange them on a baking sheet.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake until the shells are golden brown, for about 24 to 28 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
