Time 5h40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ pounds thinly sliced beef
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
2 small tomatoes, diced
1 small sweet potato, diced
1 small zucchini, diced
1 small pear, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 small red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
2 large bay leaves
3 (11.5 ounce) packages frozen empanada wrappers (12-ct), thawed
2 cups oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine beef, undrained corn, tomatoes, sweet potato, zucchini, pear, onion, bell pepper, chicken bouillon, olive oil, garlic, oregano, parsley, paprika, cumin, and bay leaves in a slow cooker. Cook on High until beef is tender and vegetables are soft, 4 to 6 hours.
  • Drain liquid and allow filling to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
  • Scoop 3 tablespoons of cooled filling into the center of an empanada wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to enclose the filling. Seal by crimping the edges or pressing them together with a fork. Repeat until all empanada wrappers are filled.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Without overcrowding, lower empanadas in batches into the hot oil and fry until golden, about 5 minutes, turning halfway through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain while you cook remaining batches.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as green beans, peas, or corn.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The red wine in this recipe helps to add flavor and depth to the stew. Be sure to use a red wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours: The stew needs to simmer for at least 2 hours in order to develop its full flavor. The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the beef will become.
