Instructions

  1. The preparation time could also be longer than the specified 1 hour 30 minutes. But practiced hands can do it in time.
  2. Dough:
  3. Put the lard, flour, and salt in a bowl. Add the broth by scoop and knead until a firm, non-fragile mass forms. This can then be rolled out later and cut into slices with a diameter of 14 cm.
  4. Filling:
  5. Heat the lard in a pan. Add the minced meat and fry. Mix in the sweet peppers and onions. When the onions take on color, add a ladle of broth, salt, oregano, and flour. Mix well and bring to the boil. To let it cool down. Add the raisins and chopped eggs.
  6. Completion:
  7. Put the filling on each slice, if possible not centered. Brush the edge with egg yolk. Close the empanadas by folding them over. Fold the seam over a corner piece by piece (I just can`t explain it better!). Brush the empanadas with egg yolk and simmer in oil.
  8. Alternative filling:
  9. Grate cheese, dice ham, mix and use as a filling.
  10. Instead of raisins, add chopped olives to the filling.
  11. Tuna fillings also fit.
