Empanada Filling image

This is my grandmother's recipe for Peruvian beef empanada filling. Use homemade pie crust or, in a pinch, refrigerated pie crust to make these Peruvian turnovers. Lightly dust powdered sugar over the baked empanadas and serve with lime wedges for authentic flair.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 pound ground beef
12 pitted kalamata olives, diced
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
½ cup raisins
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Stir flour into water in a small bowl until dissolved.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and saute onion in oil until softened, about 5 minutes; add ground beef, olives, cumin, and paprika. Cook and stir the beef mixture until the beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour flour-water mixture into the beef and stir to coat evenly. Add raisins, stir, and cook until the raisins are plump, about 5 minutes. Fold eggs into the beef mixture; season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool before using to fill empanadas.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my empanadas turned out dry and crumbly.

The empanada crust was a bit too thick for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

These empanadas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I've tried many empanada recipes, but this one is by far the best. The filling is perfectly seasoned and the crust is crispy and golden brown.
