Savory Valencian Empanadas
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 small tomatoes - peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 4 ounces diced cooked ham
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
Instructions
1
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large, deep pan over a medium-high flame. Introduce the onions into the sizzling oil and cook until they become translucent. Add a burst of juicy tomatoes to the pan, allowing them to simmer for just one minute before incorporating the diced ham and heating everything through. Take the pan off the heat source, then gently combine the eggs and fragrant parsley. Permit the mixture to rest for at least 5 minutes.
2
Preheat your oven to a scorching 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Unfold the can of pizza dough on a clean, flat surface and manipulate it into a 14x10 inch rectangle. Divide the dough into twelve equal sections, cutting each one into a 3 inch square.
3
Position an equal amount of the savory filling in the center of each square. Lightly moisten the edges with water. Fold the squares in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly together to seal them tightly. Arrange the triangles on a greased cookie sheet and prick each one with a fork.
4
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the triangles have turned a golden brown. Allow them to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
