Pies stuffed with turkey and sausage (empanda)
Ingredients:
60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 red peppers, finely chopped
2 teaspoons thyme leaves
1 sausage, peeled, cut into cubes
1/4 teaspoon chopped dried chili peppers
400 g finely chopped roasted turkey or chicken
180ml (3/4 cup) dry white wine
250ml (1 cup) chicken or turkey juice (if you have not saved, cut a sachet with concentrate)
400g (2 2/3 cups) flour coming
Tomato & olive sauce
250 g small tomatoes
50 g green olives without core, cut
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
Preparation
To prepare the filling, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, pepper and thyme and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes or until softened. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the peppers are slightly browned. Add the chili peppers, chicken, 125 ml (1/2 cup) wine and meat broth and simmer for 10 minutes until the water is reduced by three quarters. Let cool.
Meanwhile, to prepare the dough, preheat the oven to 190C. Pour the flour and a little salt into a deep bowl, then pour the remaining 60ml of wine, 2 tablespoons of oil and 200ml of warm water. Mix to create the dough.
Divide the dough into 8 parts. Open a portion in a 16 cm diameter noodle on a baking paper sprinkled with flour. Place 1/2 cup of the prepared filling over half of the noodle leaving 1 cm of edging, then fold the noodle to close the filling. With a fork press the sides of the pie to seal them. Coat with extra oil, bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
To prepare the sauce, grate the tomatoes, olives and onion until completely chopped. Top with salt and pepper. Make 1 1/3 cups.
Serve pita or empanadas with sauce.
