BEEF EMPANADAS WITH BLACK BEAN DIPPING SAUCE
I got this recipe from Bon Appetit, but they didn't have it published on their web site, so I'm putting it here for safe keeping. It was in the 'request' section where readers write in and ask for a recipe from a location / restaurant they'd eaten at. This one comes from the Grace Bay Club in Turks and Caicos. It looks quite good - so I'm hoping some of us enjoy this! UPDATE - I made these this weekend and they were good and went over big at a party. I made a double batch and note the puff pastry at my grocery was $4.99 ea - so for a double batch - that is 3 packages...so not an inexpensive appetizer for a party... Many liked them - but I thought next time I might see about using pie pastry instead of the puff pastry and perhaps adding a bit of cheese or maybe potato inside of the empenadas? The dip was great - even with tortilla chips too.... :)

Steps:
- For the dough:
- Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Cut in the butter, pulsing a few times until the mixture is like coarse meal with pea-sized lumps. Add the eggs, white vinegar, and 1/3 to 2/3 cup cold water, continuing to pulse just until the dough comes together. Transfer the dough to a work surface, form into a flat disk and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, while making the filling and yogurt sauce.
- For the filling:
- Toast the chile powder, coriander and cumin in a skillet until fragrant. Add the jalapenos, sweet potatoes and black beans. Season to taste with salt.

Steps:
- 1. For the dough combine flour, ground chipotle, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add butter and continue pulsing until it resembles coarse crumbles. Transfer ingredients into a large mixing bowl and slowly add ice water about one quarter cup at a time, stirring between each addition until a rough ball forms. Use less or more water as needed. Turn out dough onto a large working surface and divide dough in half. Form each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- 2. For the filling cover sweet potatoes with water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a low boil and cook until fork tender about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Using a mixer or back of a fork mash sweet potatoes into a puree then stir in black beans and corn until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until completely cooled.
- 3. To assemble empanadas work with one disk at a time on a lightly floured surface and roll out into a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Using a 3-inch circular cookie cutter press out as many circles as possible from the dough this should be about twenty circles. Repeat process with second batch of dough and arrange circles on two baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. If dough has become difficult to work with you may want to chill again before filling them.
- 4. Place one rounded teaspoon of filling into the center of each circle, using your finger wet the edges with water and fold circles in half until the edges meet. Press edges together to seal then use a fork to crimp, dipping the fork into flour if it is sticking. Continue until all circles are filled and formed.
- 5. To bake preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush empanadas with egg wash and cook about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool about five minutes before serving or store in refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze them and to cook bake at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes.
- 6. For the dip in a medium mixing bowl combine sour cream, lime zest and juice and cilantro and mix well. Serve dip with empanadas.
