OR

2 x 280g Darling Fresh Smoke Haus Pulled Pork Duo pack

5 x sheets of puff pastry

1 x egg, whisked for the pastry egg wash

2 spring onions, sliced

For the Salsa Verde

We're hand chopping as we like a chunkier rustic style, but feel free to use a blender to create a finer salsa, just don't over-blend it!

25ml red wine vinegar

Pea shoot garnish, and

Beerenberg Mango Lime and Chilli Dressing

METHOD

Make the Empanadas

Preheat the oven to 200oC fan-forced

Cut out the pastry rounds:

 - Find a bowl or plate that can get 4 rounds per sheet, ~11cm diameter

 - Cut around the bowl with a sharp knife, and separate the rounds ready for filling

Heat the Pulled Pork as per pack instructions, opening into a bowl.

Mix the sliced spring onions through to create the filling.

Pulled Pork Empanadas with Killer Salsa Verde filling

Place ~2 tbsp filling onto half of each round, folding the top over to form a half moon shape. Press the edges to seal well.

Place the empanandas on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Ensure they don't touch each other.

Prepare the egg wash by whisking the egg in a bowl, then brush wash over the top of each empanada, ensuring all visible pastry is covered.
