🎥 How to make Argentinian Empanadas w/ Chimichurri Sauce | HD

Directions 📝

Prep 🔪

1. Preheat your oven to 450F.
2. Stem the serrano and jalapeno. Slice the jalapeno in half and, optionally, remove the seeds from the jalapenos for a milder spice.
3. On a parchment- or foil-lined sheet tray, place the poblanos, jalapenos y serrano.
4. Cut the onion in half. Peel one half and add, cut side down, to the sheet tray. Smash the garlic cloves (amount depending on your heart’s desire) and add to the tray, leaving them in their skin. Drizzle with half the canola oil and a pinch of Balinese Truffle Salt. Pop into the oven and check periodically until everything is nice and charred.
5. Meanwhile, cut the corn off the cob. Dice the remaining ½ onion. Dice the potatoes.
6. Pick your herbs.
7. Once the onion, garlic, jalapenos, and serrano are nice and browned and slightly charred in some places, remove from the oven. Return the poblanos to the oven to fully blister and char on all sides.

How to Cook 🍳

Chimi time!

1. In your blender add: the roasted ½ onion, 1 garlic clove, 1 jalapeno, the serrano, cilantro, parsley, and mint. Add the red wine vinegar, two tablespoons of honey and a pinch of Balinese Truffle Salt. Blend, slowly drizzling in the olive oil, until the mixture is semi-smooth but still retains some texture.

2. When the poblanos have fully blistered, transfer to a mixing bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let sit for about 15 minutes to steam.
3. Turn your oven to 350F.
4. Heat your saute pan on medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Once hot, add the diced potatoes and onions. Once almost tender, add the corn and cook until tender. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
5. Meanwhile, peel and cut the roasted poblanos into rajas, or strips. Chop the remaining jalapeno and garlic. Add to the bowl with the corn, then add in the cooked potatoes and onions. Season to taste.
6. Start empanada assembly by adding a couple spoonfuls of filling to each wrapper. Learn different folding techniques from Chef Tuck! Egg wash the top for a nice browning.

7. Re-line your sheet tray with parchment or foil and bake the first batch of empanadas at 350F until brown on the top. Serve your empanadas hot with your chimichurri on the side and enjoy!
