Keto Empanadas

by

Here’s a recipe for Keto Empanadas, including ingredient quantities, instructions, and approximate nutrition information:

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (28g) coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon cold water

For the filling:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (75g) diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 lb (225g) ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup (60g) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup (30g) diced green olives (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it while you prepare the filling.
  6. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  8. Stir in the tomato sauce, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat. If using, stir in the diced green olives and chopped cilantro.
  9. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a circle on a piece of parchment paper.
  10. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-circle shape, then use a fork to crimp the edges closed.
  11. Transfer the empanadas to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  12. Remove the empanadas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
