Hi guys! How's everyone doing? Looking for a simple snack or something for business?
Try this—it's so easy, only a few ingredients needed to make it.
You know, I also added malunggay to this, just so there'd be at least some vegetables in it, right?
Try this one.
So, in the bowl, I just added here all-purpose flour, 3 and 1/2 cups.
Then, I also added some margarine here, about 1 1/2 cups that I put in.
A pinch of salt enhances the flavor.
At 4 tablespoons of sugar.
Then, let's just stir it gently, mix it until the ingredients are well combined here,
until the texture becomes sandy.
Ayan, now that it's like this, it's okay.
So I'll add malunggay here to give our recipe a bit of greens.
And then, you also dumped cold water on me here.
Yes, we should add cold water here so our filling will taste delicious later in the empanada.
If you need to add more water here, just slowly pour in the cold water.
until you reach the consistency we are looking for.
So, Ayan, it's okay now. Let's just rest for 30 minutes.
As for the toppings, I just sliced some ham here—sweet ham, actually.
and then onion, bell pepper, and then cheese.
Cheese, just a little bit is enough. Any brand of cheese, really.
You can use this here. I'll also add some chili peppers.
Add some dried oregano and basil as well.
It's optional. If you're not at home, you can skip it.
I'll also add mayonnaise here, about 1 1/2 cups.
Let's just stir it gently until the ingredients here are well mixed.
Ayan, it's okay with our filling now. It's all mixed up.
So now, let's take the dough we made earlier.
I chopped the right amount. I just chopped it and put it here on the chopping board.
Using the rolling pin, we'll just flatten the dough.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can also use a glass or bottle.
So, Ayan, this size is fine. I just put it here in the empanada mold.
It's a large size. Then we'll just fill it in.
Ayan, and then let's close it like this. There you go.
Let's press ahead. Actually, our empanada already has a design.
But I liked the design of using the hand.
So, Ayan, I was just pressing it or just using the mold to get its size,
They're all the same, basically.
So, Ayan, I just pressed it over there on the side and made a design.
This design is also very easy to make.
Ayan, just press and fold, press and fold.
What exactly are you going to do here.
Shoutout to us, Lorenzo Lagsikon from Saudi,
Nancy Akdog Sayaman from Silangkabiti.
Thank you very much for watching. Please take care.
Ayan, after I finished everything, I just heated up the oil here.
I just put down the empanadas I made.
Let's keep this on for a few minutes until it turns golden brown.
If you made many empanadas, you can put them in the freezer.
Just take them whenever you want to cook.
So, Ayan, it's okay now. It's cooked.
Let's just do this, put it in the strainer so the used oil can flow through here.
Ayan, our malunggay empanada is ready.
Ham and cheese. Ayan.
What's the bug? Delicious!
Ayan, look here.
Tara!
