Description

These meat empanadas are a classic that never fails. The dough, although it requires a little rest, is very easy to make with the Thermomix®. The juicy and tasty filling, with ground meat, onion, hard-boiled egg and olives, is the key to its success. Perfect for a family meal, a picnic or a party. My children love them! The combination of the salty touch of the meat with the sweetness of the icing sugar is simply delicious. Go ahead and prepare them, you will not regret it! You can vary the filling by adding raisins or peppers.
