Empanadas de Pino Chilenas 🇨🇱

A sentimental recipe for me. I learned to make them with my dad, he used to shout from the kitchen:
- Mireyita, venga a ayudarme con las empanadas!
He knew I liked the process and because mine looked prettier than his! - his words.
Empanadas are a typical food from Chile and most south American countries, each one making it a bit different from eachother. Here is how I make empanadas, my dad's way.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pino: preferably, make it the evening before. (the house will smell lovely at bedtime) In a large pan add sunflower oil to fry the onions and garlic, until they are soft.
- 2
Add the minced beef, salt and pepper, mix well until combined.
- 3
Add the cumin and paprika, stir well then add the raisins. If you are making the pino on the day, leave the raisins soaking in warn water for 30 minutes before adding it to make them soft. (Discard the water)
- 4
Put the lid on, and let it cook for 10 minutes, medium to low heat. Adjust the salt to your taste.
- 5
Once ready, let it cool completely before start filling out the empanadas.
- 6
Pastry: In a large bowl, put the flour and salt, combine well.
- 7
In a little soucepan, melt the butter
- 8
Make a small whole in the middle of the flour, while still warm, add the butter and start mixing it.
- 9
Once all butter is in, add the lukewarm water to the mixture and start kneading the dough like bread.
- 10
Knead until it's not sticky then leave it in the fridge for 15 minutes. Use flour for dusting.
- 11
Once it's out of the fridge, roll it with your hands making the shape of a snake, around 5 cm thick
- 12
Slice the "snake" into pieces of around 2 cm.
- 13
Stretch it round until it's 5 mm thick. You can use a 25 cm plate on top to cut perfect circles. Use flour for dusting.
- 14
To make the empanadas, mix two TBSP of flour into the pino to make the juice thicker when baked, so it doesn't run too much.
- 15
Place 2 TBSP of pino in the bottom part of the pastry, one olive on one side and one slice of boiled eggs on the other side.
- 16
Deep your finger in a bowl with water and pass it around the edges, to work as glue. Fold one side over to the edge, pressing it down to stick it together. Repeat the glueing again, then fold the sides first then the front, folding over the filling a bit.
- 17
In a baking tray, sprinkle flour all over. Place the empanadas, allowing some space in between.
- 18
Once all the empanadas are in the tray, beat a egg yolk and brush it over the empanadas.
- 19
Heat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius and bake it for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- 20
Serve with Chancho en piedra (my recipe) And a glass of Chilean red wine. Salud!

PASTEL DE CHOCLO. BEEF, CHICKEN, AND CORN PIE. JON STYLE PASTEL DE CHOCLO. BEEF, CHICKEN, AND CORN PIE. JON STYLE
https://youtu.be/jgyYL57R5Ck#Chile #pasteldechocloThis recipe is a typical popular Chilean dish. It is done more during the summer time in which is the corn season. It consists of ground beef, chicken, a corn topping and then baked. This recipe was made in New York with fresh American corn. The difference is that Chilean corn, after being ground, cooks and thickens when cooked because it contains a lot of starch. It is also not sweet so some sugar is added. The American corn is sweeter and does not need to add sugar. It doesn't have that much starch either, that's why I add a few tablespoons of cornmeal or polenta to it. Jon Michelena -

Middle Eastern Ramadaan Treats - Katayif Middle Eastern Ramadaan Treats - Katayif
My dad is Palestinian, but stays far from home with his wife (my mom) and myself. It was ramadaan and he was feeling a bit homesick. He kept on telling me about how much he missed the foods and sweets of his family overseas. So I decided to make this. Ramadaan is not ramadaan without Katayif. This made my dad so happy and proud 👌 ieman.alothman -

Hassan’s Salona Hassan’s Salona
My husband and I come from completely different backgrounds. He’s Palestinian born and raised in the UAE and I’m American. He has always enjoyed my cooking but I knew he was eating at his mom’s a lot too. Although he loves her cooking he’s a finicky eater and doesn’t like a lot of animal flesh in his food on an every day basis. So I started experimenting in the kitchen to adapt Arab recipes to his tastes and preferences. I’m also particular about spices and don’t care for some of the spices used in this part of the world.This is one of his favorites and he asks me to make it often.Adjust the seasonings to you preferences. Sometimes I will add cardamom pods if I have them but I’m not crazy about the flavor. Kym Godwin -
