Hello everybody.
You will be learning how to cook a spanish tuna empanada.
For those of you who do not know, an empanada is a savory pastry common in spanish and latino cuisine.
For this recipe, you will need:
400g of canned tuna
1 yellow bell pepper
Half an onion
1-2 tomatoes
Puff pastry roll
The first step is to dice the onion and pepper. You need to make the pieces really small since
this empanada is very thin. Then, put the onion and pepper on a pan with a small bit of oil
on medium heat to give them some colour. While the onion and pepper are cooking, you
need to blend up the tomato to a liquid consistency and take the tuna out of the can to drain the water. When the onion and pepper have gained some colour, add the rest of the
ingredients and let them simmer at medium heat for a few minutes and mix until everything
is homologous.
Next, get some parchment paper and place it on an oven rack. Then, place one half of the
puff pastry on it. Here is where you will put the filling. Spread it out evenly throughout the
surface except the edges. When all the filling has been spread, place the second half of the
pastry on top and close the edges using a fork. Put it in the oven at 180C for 30 minutes.
The empanada will be done when the top is golden brown. The empanada will be very hot
when taken out of the oven so it is important to let it cool down for at least 20 minutes before consuming.
