Spicy Pork Sausage Mini Empanadas

Yields 8-10 empanadas


Ingredients:

1 package frozen mini-empanada shells
1 lb. spicy Spanish chorizo sausage, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil for sauteing filling
½ cup finely chopped onion and finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic paste
½ cup chopped apple
1 cup chopped boiled potatoes
2 tablespoons minced olives
2 tablespoons pimiento morrón pepper
Vegetable oil for frying the empanadas


Directions:

1. In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, cilantro, garlic and apple.
2. Cook 2-3 minutes. Add the chorizo and the rest of the ingredients. Season to taste.
3. Fill each shell with a tablespoon of the mix, fold and seal the empanada.
4. Fry in hot oil in batches until golden brown. (Do not put in all of them at once as this cools the oil too fast.)
5. Serve immediately.
