Empanada Filling

Servings:

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.

Instructions

  1. 1 Stir flour into water in a small bowl until dissolved. Set aside.
  2. 2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, olives, cumin, and paprika. Cook and stir until beef is crumbly and completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Pour flour-water mixture into beef mixture and stir to coat evenly. Stir in raisins and cook until raisins are plump, about 5 minutes. Fold hard-cooked eggs into beef mixture; season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool before using to fill empanadas.
