Directions
You guys know how much I love empanadas, well these vegetarian caramelized onion empanadas make a great meatless version. The sweet caramelized onions are seasoned with Latin spices, like cumin, paprika, and oregano, the filling is very simple yet packs so much flavor. The empanada dough is made from scratch and baked in the oven an excellent appetizer for the holidays. For some more empanada recipes, try my Taco Empanadas, Leftover Turkey Pot Pie Empanadas, and Air Fryer Beef Empanadas.,Im so excited to share this recipe, originally from The Chilean Kitchen (affil link) cookbook by Pilar Hernandez and Eileen Smith. This cookbook has 75 authentic Chilean recipes, everything from stews to cocktails to desserts broken up into four sections, each one highlighting recipes for a different season. I met Pilar a few years ago on a cruise and really respect her work. I also love that she is Chilean, a cuisine I am not very familiar with. Her book has so many recipes I cant wait to try, but this Caramelized Onion Empanada recipe really stood out, and Im so glad I tried it.,Every Latin American country has a version of empanadas. This Chilean vegetarian version is referred to as a pequn and is stuffed with caramelized onions. The lemon juice in the pequn dough makes the crust more tender than traditional meat empanada dough.,Jamaican Beef Patties,Air Fryer Bacon-Burger Bites,Swedish Meatballs,Stuffed Mushrooms with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage,Pastrami Reuben Egg Roll
