Ingredients
- 8 empanada dough thawed, frozen discs
- 1 teaspoon butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons onion diced
- 1 jalapeño (minced)
- 8 ounces lobster meat I buy frozen claws from Crowd Cow, roughly chopped raw
- 2 tablespoons chives chopped
- 1 large egg beaten, white
- 1 lime for serving, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Place the dough circles on a work surface.
- Add the onions and jalapeno and sauté until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of lobster stuffing in the middle of a circle; brush the edges of the dough with the water or egg wash.
- Add the lobster and cook 1 to 2 minutes until just opaque.
- Fold the circle over itself, press the edges with your fingers or a fork to seal, and place on a work surface.
- Remove from the heat and add the chives.
- Repeat until all of the empanadas are filled. Brush tops with egg wash.
- Quickly drain in a mesh sieve and set aside to cool.
- Spray the basket with oil to prevent sticking, transfer to the basket, in batches cook at 325F° for 8 minutes, turning half way.
- Serve hot with lime wedges.
