Mushroom and Onion Empanadas
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package of store-bought empanada dough (12 discs)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add 1 finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 3 cups of finely chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and it evaporates, about 10 minutes.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place a spoonful of the mushroom and onion mixture onto the center of each empanada disc. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush the empanadas with the beaten egg wash and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
