Spanish tapas recipes - Empanadas (Miniature Spanish pasties)

You will need – pastry
270g plain flour
100g butter or margarine
100ml white wine

Put the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl and rub in the flour until it resembles crumbs. Add the wine and mix in quickly to incorporate all the flour and butter and make a dough. Turn onto a floured surface and briefly kneed, adding more flour to make a smooth, elastic dough that doesn’t stick. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours. Roll out onto a floured surface and cut into 10cm rounds. Place a spoonful of the filling on each round and fold over to make half circle. Crimp the edges together, then fry in hot oil until golden. You can also bake these pasties in a medium hot oven.

Fillings
200g minced cooked/cured meat
1 onion finely chopped
garlic
4 ripe tomatoes chopped
1 roast pimiento chopped
10 green olives finely chopped
parsley

Gently sauté the onion and garlic in a little olive oil until soft. Add the tomatoes, pimiento and olives and continue to cook until reduced to a thick sauce. Stir the meat or fish into the sauce and use to fill the pastry circles.
