Ingredients

Step by step

  1. Using the side of the knife, we crush the nuts, crumbling them, and then we chop them a little to obtain small pieces like a pine nut.
  2. In a frying pan, add the walnuts over medium heat and toast them lightly, stirring constantly. Once toasted, remove them and set aside at room temperature.
  3. In the same pan, add spinach, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and cover for 3 minutes. Uncover and stir. Cook until the spinach wilts. Set aside.
  4. In a bowl, add the goat cheese, spinach, walnuts, and jam and mash it all together.
  5. In the middle of a pastry, we put a spoonful of the previous mixture, wet our finger with water and run it around the dough, then with a fork and close it in half, forming a half moon.
  6. We can also make them in gyoza style: take the dough in one hand, slightly cupped, and with the other add a spoonful of filling. Gently close it. Using your index finger and thumbs, fold and pinch the edge.
  7. Place the finished empanadas in a pan that has been heating over medium-high heat for a while. With the folded side facing up, add a little boiling water to the pan with a little oil and cover. Wait 5 minutes until the water evaporates. Uncover, add a little more oil, and cover again. Wait 2 minutes and remove from the heat.
  8. We serve the empanadas with the part that was in contact with the pan facing upwards.

It's that easy! Enjoy your meal!
