Pork and Chorizo Empanada


Submitted by Corporate Chef Andy Stewart

Servings10

Ingredients

  • 1 packet of active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1 egg
  • Pinch sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Fustini's Chipotle olive oil
  • 2 cups flour
Filling
  • 1 pork tenderloin, trimmed and silver skin removed, cut into strips
  • Salt and pepper
  • Sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Fustini’s Medium SELECT olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Fustini's Chipotle olive oil
  • 1 large white onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • 1 pound chorizo sausage
  • 1 15-ounce can of tomato sauce

Directions

Step 1. 

Preheat oven to 45o degrees. Place the chilled filling into the bottom of the half sheet pan spreading to cover the empanada dough. [Do not fill with hot filling, as the dough will be soggy.] Spread the tomato sauce over the filling and roll the top portion of dough to cover. Crimp the edges and brush top with beaten egg. Place into hot oven and bake until golden and hot, 30 minutes. Remove from oven, cut into squares and serve immediately.


Step 2. 

Place yeast and warm milk in a large bowl and let stand for 5 minutes to bloom. Whisk together the egg, sugar, salt, melted butter, and olive oil and add to the yeast mixture. Add half the flour and stir to combine. Add half of the rest of the flour and stir with a spatula to combine. Add remaining flour, knead with your hands to combine and then remove from the bowl and knead with your hands on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Let rise under damp towels until doubled, 1 ½ hours.

Divide into two portions, one slightly larger than the other. Roll the larger portion out to fit a half-sheet pan.


Step 3.  Filling

Season pork tenderloin strips with salt, pepper and sweet paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add onion. Cook onion until fully caramelized and brown stirring often, for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno and cook for 30 seconds. Turn the heat to low and add the chorizo sausage and cook until the sausage is fully cooked and the grease has rendered. Add the pork tenderloin pieces and cook until the pork is fully cooked and all liquid is gone. Remove from the heat and let cool.
