Another Whole-Foods Plant-Based Recipe
Ingredients Outer Covering:
2 - Cups of Organic Corn Flour - Yellow or White
Dash of Salt
Enough Filtered Water to Make a Stiff Dough
Ingredients for Filling:
2 - Cups of Organic Brown Rice
1 - Large Organic Orange or Red Bell Pepper - Chopped
1 - Large Organic Yellow Bell Pepper - Chopped
1 - Large Organic Onion - Chopped
6 - Cloves of Organic Garlic - Minced
1 1/2 - Tablespoons of Mrs. Dash Seasoning
1 - Tablespoon of Organic Garlic Powder
1/4 - Teaspoon of Organic Cayenne Pepper Powder - Leave this out if you like.
2 - Cubes of Organic Veggie Salt-Free Bouillon.
Mix the corn flour, water, and a bit of salt and make a stiff dough and place in a bowl.
Cover the dough with a moist cloth and let sit in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to an hour.
Then cook the rice with all the rest of the ingredients.
Let the rice mixture cool
Make the tortilla size crusts
Fill them on one side with the rice and veggie mixture, fold the crust over and crimp the side of the empanada like a pie crust.
Bake the empanada either in a 400-Degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes until slightly brown.
Or place in an air fryer set at 400-Degrees for 30 minutes until slightly brown.
When they first come out of the oven they will be crisp.
But if you put them in the fridge and warm them later they will be softer… it depends upon what you like.
Serve with your favorite sauce - Hot Sauce, Garlic Sauce, Mustard Sauce
Makes 12 to 15 Empanadas
Serves 8 people - Or 3 Hungry Guys
Enjoy!
Remember to eat organic - Regular fruits, veggies, and grains contain from 30 to 50 disease-causing chemicals in them… not good. So eat organic and stay healthy.
