CAPRESE MINI EMPANADAS
1 cup white corn flour
1 ¼ cup hot water
½ tbsp. salt
1 cup ripe tomatoes, finely diced
1 cup fresh mozzarella, finely diced
1. Combine the flour, water, salt and mix until the dough is soft and smooth.
Set aside.
2. Place the diced tomato in a non-metallic bowl and add the balsamic vinegar;
season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir.
3. Preheat your Oster
until the green button lights up.
4. Divide the dough into 12 balls. Place a piece of plastic wrap on a smooth surface;
then place one dough ball on top of the plastic, cover it with the other piece of
plastic and use the cutting board to press the ball into a circle.
5. Pick up the dough circle together with both layers of plastic and place the whole
thing on the mini empanada mold. Remove the top layer of plastic and spoon
a small amount of the tomato, cheese, and basil strips onto the middle of the
dough. Close the mold and press firmly. Open the mold, lift up one side of the
plastic and remove the mini empanada. Set aside.
6. Repeat the previous steps until you have formed 12 mini empanadas; place 6 of
them into your Oster
7. After a few seconds you will see the green light button go off; now wait about 3
minutes, or until the green light goes back on. At that point, your mini empanadas
are ready. Remove them carefully.
8. Repeat with the remaining 6 mini empanadas and you will have 12 delicious
caprese mini empanadas to enjoy with your family.
