Spicy pork & olive empanadas make for a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests. With a flavorful filling of seasoned pork, vibrant olives, and a bit of heat from red hot chili peppers, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry, these empanadas are sure to impress. They're paired with a refreshing salad of avocado, cucumber, and lettuce to balance the spiciness and make for a well-rounded dish.
- Ensure the puff pastry is chilled before working with it to make it easier to handle and create better puffing in the oven.
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the ground pork with your favorite spices for a few hours before cooking.
- When chopping the chili peppers, consider using gloves to avoid irritating your skin or eyes.
- To prevent the empanadas from becoming soggy, make sure the filling is not too wet and the puff pastry edges are well-sealed.
- Serve with a side of sour cream or a yogurt dip to add a cooling element that complements the heat from the chili peppers.
Once your spicy pork & olive empanadas are baked to golden perfection, serve them hot with a side of the refreshing avocado-cucumber salad. These empanadas are not only delicious but also versatile, making them a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. Enjoy the savory, spicy flavors and the delightful contrast of textures from the crispy pastry and the tender filling.
