Bonbon Baked Turnovers- Empanaditas Bombon
- 1 lb ground meat
- 4 ounces cilantrillo herbs or 4 ounces cilantro leaves
- 1 (7 ounce) canspanish red peppers or 1 (7 ounce) can roasted red peppers
- 12 ripe plantain
- black pepper
- cayenne pepper
- salt
- 1 egg
- pastry dough
- I use Fargo pastry dough for argentinian "tapas".
- If not, you could replace with phyllo dough, but try to make them very thin.
- Cook the gound meat at medium heat until it browns.
- Do not over cook or let dry up.
- Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper to taste.
- Add the ripe pantain cut into small squares and the red peppers with it's juice.
- Keep tasting for more salt or pepper.
- Remember not to let it dry.
- When the beef is fully cooked add 1/2 to 3/4 minced cilantrillo.
- Sautee until plantains are cooked and all the juice in the pan almost dries up.
- Careful not to dry up the meat too much.
- Once it's done, let it cool down to room temperature.
- If you add the meat hot it will soften the dough to much.
- When the meat is already room temperature, preheat the oven to 375.
- LIghtly grease your pans.
- Do not preheat them.
- Start filling up the "plantillas" (pastry dough) with one tablespoon of ground meat.
- Do not overfill them or they will open up.
- Close them in a half moon shape.
- In the center of the border fold and pinch.
- Repeat on each side from the center out.
- When you have already pinched all the border, "sit" the turnover with the border facing up.
- Repeat with all the turnovers.
- Beat one egg and brush the turnovers.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
