- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into 1-ounce pats
- 1/2 to 2/3 cup sparkling water
- 2tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- For the dough: Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Add the butter 1 pat at a time, followed by the sparkling water and lemon juice and pulse until a dough forms. Form the dough into a ball, and then let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before portioning into empanada-size pieces. For the pico de gallo: Mix together the red onions, tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro in a bowl. Add the lime juice and salt and black pepper to taste. Let stand for 1 hour. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups of accumulated liquid. For the puree: Mix together the reserved pico de gallo juices, the avocados, garlic, lime juice, cilantro and jalapenos in a blender. Blend until smooth, and then refrigerate until ready to serve. For the bison: Heat a skillet over high heat, and then add the bison and Spanish onions and cook until browned, 5 minutes. Add the vinegar, olive oil, cayenne, coriander, cumin, salt, red pepper flakes and lime juice and cook for another 5 minutes. Drain and let cool, then fold in the cilantro. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Fill a pot halfway with oil and heat to 350 degrees F. For cooking the empanadas: Lay out the dough on a flat surface, and scoop 2 ounces of bison filling into the center of each piece of dough. Fold the sides closed, pressing to seal. Drop into the oil and fry for 2 minutes, frying in batches if needed. Garnish the empanadas with the avocado jalapeno puree and top with the pico de gallo.
