Spinach Mini Empanadas - Oster FPSTEMM803 Manual De Instrucciones

SPINACH MINI EMPANADAS

15 oz. fresh spinach
4 oz. feta cheese
One box of phyllo pastry (available
at the supermarket in the frozen
food section)
½ cup butter
Brush for spreading the butter
3 ½ inch-diameter round cookie cutter
1 sheet of plastic wrap larger than
the mini empanada mold
1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil and add salt; add the spinach and allow to cook until
it is intensely green in color. Drain the spinach in a colander, pressing out as
much liquid as you can. Set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet, add the oil and onion; cook over medium low heat for
about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Once the spinach and onion have cooled, put them in a bowl and stir in the egg,
dill, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it in.
4. Preheat your Oster
5. Place a sheet of phyllo dough on a flat surface and spread it with the butter;
then place another layer of the dough on top of the first sheet and spread it with
butter; continue this pattern until you have 5 layers. You will have to repeat this
process one or two more times to make 18 rounds.
6. Using the cookie cutter, cut 18 circles out of the 5-layer sections. As you cut
out the rounds, keep them covered with damp paper towels because the dough
tends to dry out.
7. Place plastic wrap onto the mold; place a round of phyllo dough onto the plastic.
8. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture into the middle of the dough circle,
close the mold and press firmly.
9. Repeat until you have formed 18 mini empanadas; place 6 of them into your
Oster Mini Empanada Maker and close.

are ready. Remove them carefully.
11. Repeat this last step with the remaining mini empanadas until you have 18
