Makes: 12
Prep: 35 minutes
Cook: 60 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small brown onion, finely diced
- 1 small red capsicum, finely diced
- 400g lean beef mince
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp paprika
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 3 sheets of puff pastry
- Flaked salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray
METHOD
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and capsicum and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until softened. Add the beef, cumin and paprika and continue to cook for 10 minutes or until well browned. Add the chicken stock and cook, stirring occasionally until the liquid has evaporated. Transfer the beef mixture to a bowl, season to taste and refrigerate until cool.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
3. Cut four 10cm rounds out of each puff pastry sheet. Place 2 tbsp of the beef filling into the centre of each round. Dampen the edges with water and fold each round in half, pinching the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining pastry rounds.
4. Arrange half of the empanadas evenly around the base of the air fryer and spray lightly with olive oil spray. Select the STEAK function and cook for 20 minutes, rotating at the halfway mark, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batch then transfer the empanadas to a serving platter and enjoy!
