CHOCOLATE-BANANA EMPANADAS

Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 20 empanadas

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large ripe bananas
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 recipe empanada dough, recipe follows
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken in chunks
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup masa harina
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Butter, for greasing the pans

Steps:

  • Mash the bananas, sugar, and cinnamon together in a mixing bowl until creamy, but not completely smooth ¿ you should still have pieces of banana chunks. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the banana filling on the empanada pastry circles and stick a piece of chocolate on top. Form and bake the empanadas as directed in the recipe. Dust with confectioners¿ sugar and serve hot.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, masa harina, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter. Gradually add 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of water, working it in with your hands to incorporate; the dough should be easy to handle and not sticky. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly flour your rolling pin and counter. Divide the dough in 1/2 so it will be easier to work with and roll it out to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 4-inch cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out 10 circles of dough; repeat with the other 1/2.
  • Spoon 2 generous tablespoons of filling into the center of each pastry circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Brush the edges with the egg wash and then fold the dough over in 1/2 to enclose the filling and form a semi-circle. Tightly seal the edges by crimping with the tines of a fork. Chill at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the empanadas on a buttered baking sheet and brush the tops with additional egg wash. Using a fork, prick a few holes in the top of the empanadas for steam to escape. Bake for 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.

1 teaspoon dark seedless raisins
4 1/2 ounces vanilla ice cream (1 scoop)
1 maraschino cherry
1/4 cup caramel sauce (available in grocery stores or make your own cajeta sauce)

Steps:

  • To make dough: Measure flour and sugar into bowl; stir to mix.
  • Add fat and thoroughly work it into the flour.
  • Dissolve salt in water (mix with egg yolk, if using), and add to flour mixture; mix to form a medium-stiff dough.
  • Knead for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Divide dough into about 8 to 10 equal parts, roll into balls, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for about 20 to 30 minutes to rest.
  • For each empanada, roll a ball of dough into a flat round, tortilla- shape, about 8 inches in diameter (use a tortilla press, if available).
  • Place on a hot pan and cook briefly on one side.
  • On the center of the tortilla, with the cooked side to the inside, put bananas, raisins, pecans and honey.
  • With a small pastry brush, brush egg white around the edges and fold it over to form a half-moon shape.
  • Press around the edges to seal with a fork.
  • Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches into a wide frying pan and heat oil to 350 degrees.
  • Fry empanadas for 2 minutes, turning as necessary, until golden brown.
  • Remove from oil and let drain.
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar over top, then cinnamon.
  • Garnish with banana slices, pecans, and raisins.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, top with the cherry and accompany with a pitcher of warm cajeta (caramel) sauce.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for the filling, as they will be sweeter and have a better flavor.
  • If you don't have Nutella, you can substitute another chocolate hazelnut spread or even peanut butter.
  • Be careful not to overfill the empanadas, or they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during frying.
  • If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also fry the empanadas in a large skillet with hot oil.
  • Serve the empanadas warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.

Conclusion:
