This is definitely my favorite empanada, ideal as an aperitif, as a dinner or to eat on an excursion. The original recipe -without Thermomix- is from my mother and the only thing I have done has been to adapt it.
Although it may seem like the typical empanada, I encourage you to look at the ingredients of the dough: without yeast, with milk instead of water and with a touch of paprika that gives it a special flavor and color. As for the filling, if you try it you will see that the tomato makes it very juicy.
A tip, if you are few at home and you have plenty you can freeze it -If you plan to do it, it is better not to put a hard-boiled egg in the filling. And another thing ... keep in mind that, since we are the ones who make the dough, making this empanada will take us longer than if we make it with purchased dough.
For decoration I have used a grid mold that in Italy they use to make the scab. If you want one day we will make one!

Unmmm, what does Ascen look like, first of all welcome.
I write it down, I love these types of recipes, and now with the warmth for dinners they are ideal….
Thanks for welcoming Virtues. The truth is that it comes in handy at this time. In typical friends' gatherings or end-of-year parties where each one brings a plate, this pie is always my contribution, and there is never any excess!
The recipe is splendid …………… .I love it.
One of the best recipes I've seen lately. Thank you
Ummmmm great !! I write it down that with this heat it feels like cool
It's true, fresh is delicious. You'll tell me when you try it!
Just tell you that the dough is a success
I'm so glad. I have had to make a few empanadas to know the exact measurements of liquids and flour ... yes, we have eaten them all!
Thank you for your comment Marcelina
ummm how rich !!! I will do it this spring on an outing to the country or to the beach. Welcome and I hope you keep putting these delicious recipes. Kisses
Do not forget to try it because it is really tasty ... and for an excursion it is ideal
Hi Ascen
Congratulations on the recipe, I loved it. Next weekend I have an informal dinner with friends, the kind in which each one contributes something, and I have already chosen your empanada. That if, I would like to give your presentation because it surprises to be totally different from the typical ones… So, could you tell me, how is a grid mold? And where can I find it?
Thanks in advance
Thanks Maria Rosa, I hope you like the result.
About the grid mold ... I'm sorry but I can't tell you where to buy it in Spain, not even if they sell it. I have bought it in Parma which is where I am living. It occurs to me that you can use cookie cutters -the ones for cookies- to make something nice ...
You'll tell me how it looks!
All the best
Thanks for the recipe, I'll be sure to try it soon. The lemon yogurt is great!
Greetings from San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
Go ahead and do it because it is very easy and the result is worth it. When you try it, you tell me what you think, okay? A kiss and thanks for following us from Mexico!
Hello, I am a housewife and my favorite place is the kitchen. I love cooking. I will try to make this recipe, it looks good.
Hi Charo,
Well, do not hesitate, do it because it is worth it. And it sure turns out great!
When you do it, tell me if you liked it, okay?
A kiss!
BUENISIMA ¡¡¡¡¡Thank you for posting the recipes
Thank you Maria, for your comment and for trusting us.
A hug, Ascen
For the traditional empanada dough, can it be made with another flour?
Hello Estibaliz,
The reason for wanting to change it, is it an allergy? I have always made it with wheat flour but possibly with another type of flour it is also good.
A hug!
Very good.
The kneading is only 20 seconds? Nothing is kneaded in vel. spike?
Thank you.
Hello Jesus,
It is not a dough that requires too much kneading but as you see it. If after those twenty seconds you see that it is not well mixed, you can knead a few seconds at spike speed or even finish kneading it with your hands.
A hug!
