Filipino empanadas usually contain ground beef, pork or
chicken, potatoes, chopped onions, and raisins (somewhat similar to the Cuban picadillo) in a somewhat sweet,
wheat flour bread. There are two kinds available: the baked sort and the flaky
fried type. But today, I will make my own version of healthy way cooking of
empanada instead of red or white meat; I’m going to use tuna.
By the way 1 divided it into two part video. First, is how to make an empanada dough. Second, is how to
make a tuna filling.
Since I'm going to use can tuna I assure you that this is definitely tastier, mine was Century Tuna flakes in oil flavor but you can use your preferred brand.
In making mini dough, what I did was instead of putting 2 and ½ cups of flour I made it to 2 and ½ Tbs. Yes I used the tablespoon since I will make mini dough and I was not sure if this would work and thank God I made it, though it was not perfect.
Maybe, many are wondering on what does it taste like.
If you will follow
the exact measurement and the procedure I can assure you that the taste is not that
bad, surprisingly i'ts really good,
I hope that you will
give this a try and share it with your loved ones.
Here are the following ingredients:
For tuna filling
- 0.615 ml oil
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 tsp onions
- T tbs can tuna (oil or water)
- 1 tsp & ¼ tsp of green bell pepper
- 1 tsp & ¼ tsp of Carrots
- ½ tsp of soy sauce
- ½ tsp of catsup
- Pepper and salt to taste.
You may adjust the ingredients.
Let’s start cooking:
Heat the casserole, pour the oil
Add garlic, let it
cook or until it turn to light brown
Add the onion; cook it until it appears
translucent.
Add tuna and soy sauce, then let it simmer.
Add the green bell
pepper, carrots and catsup; let it simmer for few minutes.
For the decoration,
I made little bowl from green bell pepper.
Serve!!!
