Frozen pie crust means these empanadas are easy enough for even a busy night!
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (12-ounce) package meatless crumbles
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped red bell pepper
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 2 (9-inch) prepared vegan pie crusts (Such as Wholly Wholesome)
- To prepare the filling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatless crumbles and cook for 6 minutes.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pan; continue to cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft.
- Add the oregano, cumin, paprika, and chili powder; cook for 1 minute, then stir in the broth and brown sugar. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid is nearly all evaporated.
- Stir in the raisins and remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut circles from the pie dough. (Note: you’ll need to gather and re-roll your scraps several times).
- Spoon a heaping tablespoon filling into the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
