Show: Diners, Drive-ins and Dives
Episode: Totally Fried
Pork:
1/4 cup granulated garlic
1/4 cup coarse kosher salt
1/4 cup smoked sweet paprika
1/4 cup cumin powder
1/4 cup onion powder
1/4 cup black pepper
1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cut into large cubes
Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch salt
Pinch sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1/3 cup cold water
Filling:
1 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed
1/2 cup black beans, cooked
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salsa:
1 cup diced pineapple
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
2 limes, zested and juiced
2 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Glaze:
1/2 cup chipotle pepper puree
1/2 cup honey
Oil, for frying
Fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish
For the pork:
Combine the spices with pork and let marinate for 2 hours. In a large
pot add the pork and enough water to cover and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until the meat pulls apart easily. Set aside
to cool. Shred with a fork.
For the dough:
In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients and shortening and mix.
Add small amounts of the water at a time until the dough forms. Knead
for a few minutes, and then wrap the dough in plastic and allow to
rest for 1 hour. After the dough rests, on a floured table roll out
dough to 1/8-inch thick. Cut 4-inch disks and set aside in the
refrigerator. Excess scraps can be rolled again for more disks, just
allow the scrap ball to rest before rolling.
For the filling:
Mix equal parts cold water and flour to use as a binder for the
empanadas. Fill the dough disks with a generous spoon of the filling,
brush the outer edges with the flour and water mix and then fold over
so it looks similar to ravioli. Crimp the edges with a fork and set
aside for frying.
For the salsa and glaze:
In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients for the salsa. In a
separate bowl combine the ingredients for the glaze.
Preheat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
Fry the empanadas for about 3 to 5 minutes or until they are golden
brown. Brush the empanadas with the chipotle honey glaze and serve on
a bed of the salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and some of
the glaze.
