You won’t be able to stop at just one…
So we’ve said you won’t be able to stop at just one… I’ll elaborate – we made a small batch for a recipe test because we were a little uncertain of how they might turn out… but the recipe was such a success that we ate the entire first batch, skipped dinner and then made another batch the following day.
The recipe we present to you? You’ll be pleased to know it makes one BIG batch, if you make them small – you’ll get around 30-35, make them a little larger and you’ll end up with around 20-25.
When we made these, we did one oven batch and one fryer batch. The oven batch were fine, though less golden and a few had started to split after about 25 minutes on 200 degrees. The batch we chucked in the fryer took all of a couple of minutes and came out golden with crisp edges and no breakages. The choice is yours, if you want a healthier option definitely opt for the oven baking – it means you can sneak eat any split ones before anyone notices!
And… you could call this the not so secret recipe (so no there’s not that many steps to the empanadas, there’s actually a recipe for dip there too). It’s a roasted brussel sprout hummus. Sound intriguing? It’s simple, tasty and as it just so happened, meant we could sneak in some brussels for the sprout haters. Enjoy!
