Chilean Empanadas RecipeWhile many kinds of empanadas are found in Chile, calduda is considered the Chilean empanada.The meat is slowly cooked in a caldo, or stock, and as the stock evaporates to almost nothing, the meat becomes soft as butter and very moist. Makes 16 servings Ingredients: DOUGH 3 cup All-purpose flour 1 tsp Coarse salt 8 tbl Unsalted butter cut in bits 2 x Egg yolks 2 tbl Tarragon vinegar 9 tbl Cold water FILLING 1 tbl Olive oil 1 tsp Spanish paprika 1/8 tsp Cayenne 2 tbl Unsalted butter 2 med Onions chopped fine 1/2 lb Lean ground beef 1/4 tsp Dried oregano 2 tsp Coarse salt 1 x Bay leaf 1/2 cup Beef stock 3 tbl Seedless raisins 8 x Kalamata olives chopped 1 x Hard-boiled egg chopped GLAZE 1 x Egg yolk 1 whl Egg 1 tbl Cold water Directions: Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the butter, egg yolks, and vinegar and mix quickly and thoroughly with your fingertips until all ingredient are well incorporated. Add 5 tablespoons of the water and continue mixing, adding just enough of the remaining water, a little at a time, to make a firm dough. Refrigerate until ready to use. For the filling, heat the oil and butter in a saute pan. Add the onions and saute over medium heat until light brown around the edges, about 5 minutes. Add the beef, oregano, salt, and bay leaf and cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Add the stock and continue cooking until the stock has almost - but not quite - evaporated. Mix in the raisins and olives. Remove from the heat and let cool. Stir in the chopped hard-boiled egg. Correct the seasoning with salt to taste. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. On a floured board, roll out the dough about 1/8-inch thick, shaping it into a 16-inch square. Cut out circles about 5-inches in diameter. Knead and re-roll the scraps and cut into additional circles. Place a heaping tablespoon of the meat filling about 1/2-inch from the edge of each circle. Brush the border of the circle with juices from the filling or with water. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon, pressing the edges together with your fingertips or the tines of a fork to seal. Prick the top of each empanada once or twice with the tines of the fork. Repeat this process until all the empanadas are assembled. Make the glaze by beating the egg yolk and egg with the water. Spread parchment paper on a baking sheet. Arrange the empanadas on top and brush with glaze. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden. Remove the baking tray from the oven, and transfer the empanadas to a serving platter or individual plates, and serve hot. The filling, or pino, is sweetened with raisins, which also contrast with the tart taste of the olives. Return from Chilean Empanadas to homepage More Recipes from Chile |
