SOYRIZO™ EMPANADAS
Preparation time: 1 hour
Number of servings: about 2 dozen
INGREDIENTS
DOUGH:
4 cups flour
2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg substitute
5 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups plain soymilk
FILLING:
1 1/2 pound SOYRIZO™ soy sausage, crumbled
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup salsa

Oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

DOUGH:
Place the flour, eggs or egg substitute, shortening, and salt
in a food processor bowl and pulse until well mixed.
Add half of the soymilk and pulse until blended. Add the rest
of the soymilk and pulse until a ball forms. Wrap in plastic
wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
FILLING:
Brown the SOYRIZO™ in some oil quickly in a heavy skillet
(soy sausages need little cooking). Add the onion and garlic
and cook until the onion is just soft.
Drain off any excess fat. Mix in the salsa. Set aside.

Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thick on a floured cutting board.
Cut out three-inch circles. Place 1 Tablespoon of the SOYRIZO™ mix
in the center of each circle. Fold into a half-circle. Crimp the
outer edge with a fork to seal. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet.
Add the empanadas and brown lightly on both sides. Drain on
paper towels. Serve warm. And cheer your team loudly.
