Ingredients

  • 1 bunch Spring Onions
  • Dash Olive Oil
  • 1 finely sliced Red Chilli
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 350g Prawns
  • 75g Feta
  • 15g Butter
  • 250g Plain Flour
  • 1 Seperated Egg
  • 1/2 tsp White Wine Vinegar

Instructions

1
STEP 1 To make the flour base, rub the dairy spread into the baking flour and then mix in the egg white and half the yolk (keep the rest), acetic liquid, a pinch of seasoning and enough cold aqua to make a soft flour base.
2
shape on a floured surface until even and then wrap and rest for 30 mins.
3
STEP 2 mildly hot the oven to 180c/fan 160c/gas 4.
4
Trim the green ends of the spring onions and then finely cut the rest.
5
mildly hot a little oil in a cooking vessel and shallow fry them gently until soft but not browned.
6
mix in the chilli and garlic, swirl around and then mix in the prawns and make until they are opaque.
7
augment the taste well.
8
Scoop out the prawns and bubble the juices until they thicken, then mix in back the prawns.
9
STEP 3 Divide the empanada flour base into eight balls and roll out to thin circles on a floured surface.
10
Put some filling on one half of the flour base, strew the feta on top and fold the other half over.
11
Trim the edge and then fold and crimp the flour base together so the empanada is tightly sealed, put it on an oiled baking sheet either on its side or sitting on its un-crimped edge like a cornish pasty.
12
Repeat with the remaining flour base and mixture.
13
combine the leftover egg yolk with a splash of aqua and brush the top of the empanadas.
14
STEP 4 cook thoroughly for 30 mins or until golden and slightly crisp around the edges.
