Pumpkin Empanada
1 cup Pumpkin Reàl
Makes 12
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 small pie pumpkin, roasted, or 1 (15.5 oz) can of pumpkin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pack Goya empanada dough (can make homemade empanada/pie dough and cut into twelve 6-inch circles)
Melted butter, for brushing
Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
Fresh mint, for garnish
Grated nutmeg, for garnish
Sauté raisin and pecans in butter for 1 minute. Stir in the pumpkin, Pumpkin Reàl, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and cook for another minute. Refrigerate mixture until fully chilled.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place 1 tablespoon filling just off-center on each empanada dough. Fold dough over filling and pinch edges with a fork to seal.
Place empanadas on a sheet pan, brush with melted butter, and bake for 10–15 minutes, until golden brown.
Drizzle with a little Pumpkin Reàl and serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint and grated nutmeg.
