  • 60ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 100ml Neutral oil such as sunflower

  • 3 Tbsp Maple syrup (or can use 1 Tbsp sugar)

Steps

  • Make the dough first but mixing the flour, salt and butter together until you have a breadcrumb like mixture. Then add the egg yolk into the warm milk pour this into your mixture and combine until a dough has formed. A food processor makes this job easy. Turn out knead briefly. Then wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 mins.

  • Make the filling by sauteing the onions, garlic and thyme in oil for 10 mins, no colour. Then add the beef season and cook for 5-7 mins until no pink is left. Add the rest of your spices, harissa paste and cook out for 5 mins until beef is coloured.

  • Add your sweet potatoes and mix through the mix for 1-2 mins then add your stock and simmer for 15 mins. Its done when potatoes are just cooked and most of the liquid has cooked out. You don't want it wet or runny. Season to taste add a good splash of sherry vinegar and set aside to cool.

  • Make the sauce by blending everything together

  • Roll out your pastry and cut, fill as per the video. Crimp if you want to. Refer to video. egg wash your empanadas and bake in a preheated oven set to 420F- 210C 20-25 mins or until golden brown.

  • Serve warm with your sauce on the side.
