Provided by Clara Gonzalez

Categories     Party

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 egg (medium) (eggs and whites separated)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for working the dough)
Empanada filling (choose one from the list above the recipe)
2 cups oil for frying

Steps:

  • Combine egg yolks, oil, salt, and baking powder. Once well combined, add the flour and mix.By this point, the dough will be crumbly and too dry. Start adding water by the tablespoon and working until it forms a cohesive ball with the least water possible. I used 7 tablespoons in the end, but it varies sometimes.
  • Mix everything with your hands on a lightly floured surface until everything is well mixed, but just squeezing without folding (like playdoh). Add some flour to the dough if it is too sticky, or a bit of water if it is too dryOnce the dough has the consistency of playdoh (One to two minutes at most) wrap, and let the dough rest for ten minutes.
  • Separate a small, golf-ball-sized piece of dough. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough forming a small circle.
  • Cut out circles of about 2.5" [6.5 cm] in diameter. Paint the inside with egg white (which acts as glue so the layers don't separate).Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle, cover with another circle and seal the border by pressing it with a fork.
  • Cut out circles 4" [10 cm] in diameter. Paint the inside with egg white (which acts as glue so the layers don't separate).Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle, double over in a semi-circle, and seal the border by pressing it with a fork.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a 1 qt [1lt] pot. Deep fry the pastelitos / empanaditas until they are golden brown on each side. Rest on a paper towel to drain excess oil before serving.

PASTELITOS DE CARNE (CENTRAL AMERICAN MEAT PIES)



Pastelitos De Carne (Central American Meat Pies) image

*** THIS IS MY VERSION OF THE RECIPE. PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND BEFORE COMPARING IT. IT'S ALSO HELPFUL TO ACTUALLY MAKE THE RECIPE*** My family enjoys these little cakes. I usually cut them in half, place on top of shredded cabbage and either drizzle a little bit of Sarita's All Purpose Tomato Sauce on top or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. A tortilla press makes the process of flattening the cakes easier. If you do not have one you can just use a rolling pin but just place the masa ball inbetween two sheets of parchment paper to prevent it from sticking to the rolling pin. If you do not have the chicken bullion then you will have to add extra salt and the taste will not be the same. I recommend making and frying one meat pie before making the rest just to make sure that the thickness of the masa is good and not to thick that the masa inside is raw when fried.

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 30m

Yield 10-12 meat pies, 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups masa harina
1 tablespoon paprika
2 1/2 tablespoons powder chicken bouillon
salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons lard
2 cups warm water
1 1/2-2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup white rice, cooked
cilantro, a couple of leaves
3 cups oil (enough to deep fry in a large frying pan)

Steps:

  • On medium high in a large pan, cook the ground beef and drain extra fat. To the cooked beef, add in the rice, cilantro and salt to taste. Cook for about 2 more minutes to heat thru. Set aside and let cool for about 7-10 minute.
  • Meanwhile, In a large bowl, mix the masa harina, paprika, chicken bullion and pepper.
  • Using a Pastry blender or fork, cut the lard into the masa mix until the masa is crumbly and the lard is pea size or smaller.
  • Add the warm water, 1 cup at a time, to the masa and using your hands, mix well until the water is fully incorperated. The masa should not be sticky or dry. If it is sticky add a little bit more masa (1 tspn at a time) or if it is dry add water (1 tbspn at a time).
  • Rub a little bit of cooking oil into your hands to make the following step easier. Take out about 2 table spoons of masa and roll into a ball. Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, make the ball into the size of tortilla but be careful not to roll out to thin. The thickness has to be twice as thick as a tortilla or about the thickness of a pita bread. If it is too thin, the pies will not hold when you stuff them.
  • Heat your deep fry oil on a large frying pan on medium high heat (almost high heat).
  • Place rolled out dough on a flate surface and add about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the middle. Close in half (creating the shape of a meat pie or half moon). Seal in edges with your fingers and creat small indintations with the end of a fork all around the edge of the pie.
  • Before frying, test oil readiness by dropping a small piece dough into the oil. If it automatically sizzles and floats to the top, it is ready. Carefully slide in meat pies into the hot oil and cook about 3-4 minutes per side or until deep golden brown.
  • Drain very well on paper towels. You can also slightly press a paper towel against the fried pies to remove excess oil. You can serve whole over a bed of shredded green cabbage or cut in half and serve Sarita's All purpose Tomato Sauce on the side.

Dominican Pastelitos (Savory Pasties) image

This recipe found at Aunt Clara's Kitchen. I've used this recipe changing the filling. I've also increased ingredients and more for parties. These can be made ahead of time and frozen till needed. If you freeze, allow them to thaw before deep frying. Can also exchange meat for shredded cheese or fruit jellies/jams for a quick dessert. Hope you enjoy.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 ounces frozen flour rounds (i.e. Don Pepe, can be found in latin stores freezer section)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons cold water
salt
2 cups oil
1 lb ground chicken (beef, pork,or turkey)
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 leaves coriander, chopped finely
2 teaspoons salt
1 small red onion
1 medium green pepper
ground black pepper (to taste)
green olives (optional)
raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop onions and the green pepper into very small cubes.
  • In shallow pan, heat two teaspoons of oil, add onions, chicken or meat, and the green peppers, stir. Add the black pepper, coriander, and tomato paste. Let simmer at very low heat until all liquid has evaporated. Reserve.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients first, then add the water and mix well. Mix everything with hands on a slightly floured surface until mixed well, don't knead the dough (add some flour if too sticky). Let dough rest for 10 minutes covered in plastic film.
  • On lightly floured surface roll out dough, cut out circles of about 4 inches in diameter.
  • Before using the filling you can add some raisins and/or some sliced olives, mix into meat. Put a teaspoon of chicken or meat in the center, fold over in a semi-circle and seal the border pressing it with a fork (for better results, wet finger with water and lightly coat the edges of the lower half of circle then use fork, this creates a tighter seal).
  • Deep fry the pastelitos and drain excess oil on a paper towel before serving.

1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup tomato sauce

Tie tightly with twine to secure. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil over medium heat and season with salt. Add the pasteles, cover, and cook for 40 minutes. Remove the pasteles from the pot.
