Tip
If using a TM31 saute on Varoma temperature instead of 120.
Make a double batch and freeze once baked
Try different fillings - traditionally spiced lamb mixture works well. Alternatively roast root vegetables with mozarella.
The addition of Semolina makes them crisper and can be rolled quite thin.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

such a great recipe so easy and tasty too
Terrible dough mix. It's not like a traditional empanada pastry but more like a bread mix. The dough is too sticky and wet and no amount of flour or kneading could fix it. Definitely would not recommend.
Loved the semolina in the pastry, gave it real crunch. Filling was lovely.
These were yum and devoured in minutes
Great recipe!
I used wholemeal flour instead of plain flour (same quantity, 420g) and they turned out well!
For the filling I used:
- beef mince, onion, garlic, some blitzed pumpkin I had leftover, some blitzed cheddar cheese, some pinenuts, worcestershire sauce, nutritional yeast and a small amount of a mixture of seasonings.
My kids loved these
Kids loved these . The dough took 30 mins to prove
AWESOME!
I have made these several times now in my TM31. Kids love them, take them to kinder for lunch.
Thanks for sharing!
These were pretty good. Made far more than 24 portions.
maybe too much filling

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I made them for school lunches, I have 2 teenagers. I had left over shredded lamb, so made up a gravy & there you have it .. lamb empanada's . I will next time use the bacon filling to give variety.
I also found mine split open during cooking,.. do you have any reasons why this happened? I thought oven to hot.. I had it on 190 deg fan forced!
Again, thank you.. will be a regular make up for lunches in my household. Cheers.
