Mango Pineapple Empanada Recipe by Minda
Cooking Instructions 50 min 1 Combine pineapple, mango, lime juice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, sugar, and zest in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until thickened and jam-like. Remove from heat and let cool. 2 Make the dough by combining the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl starting with the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well using a wire whisk. Cut the butter into small thin pieces place in the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.(the butter should be cold and solid before doing this) 3 Add water gradually and mix all the ingredients thoroughly until a dough is formed. You may use a pastry blender to ease the process. Divide the dough into individual pieces by grabbing a piece from the whole mixture and rolling it in your hand until a spherical shape is formed. Do this until all the dough is consumed. Set aside in a cool place for at least 20 minutes 4 Flatten the spherical dough by pressing it with your palm against a flat surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten it fully while creating a round shape. Arrange about a quarter to half a cup of filling (the chicken that you cooked in the first few steps) at the middle of the flattened dough. Fold the dough so that opposite ends meet (you should have formed a half moon shaped dough)then press the edges and seal. 5 Place mango pineapple filling into the center and fold dough over to the opposite side. Use your empanada cutter/molder if you have one or you can simply crimp the dough with fork or with your fingers to seal the edges.
