Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses Quick Meals
In the world of meat-free empanadas, roasted red pepper is one of the most valuable ingredients. The flesh remaining after charring the peppers and removing the skin is smoky, sweet, and silky, forming a perfect filling base. This recipe wraps this Mediterranean treasure in a crumbly butter pastry. A simple dish, though time-consuming due to the pepper preparation, but worth every minute.

Instructions

1 ✓

Place the peppers on a baking tray and roast in a 220°C oven until their skins are black and blistered (approx. 20-30 minutes). Remove, place in a bowl, and cover with foil for 10 minutes.

Tip: In their own steam, the skin separates from the flesh, making peeling easy.
2 ✓

For the dough, mix the flour with the salt. Rub in the cold butter, then add the water and knead quickly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Tip: Resting allows the butter to chill again, making the pastry crumbly.
3 ✓

Peel the peppers, remove seeds, and cut into strips. Mix with olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika.

Tip: Smoked paprika (pimentón) reinforces the roasted flavour.
4 ✓

Roll out the dough, cut circles. Fill with pepper, fold in half, seal edges with a fork.

Tip: Sealing should be thorough.
5 ✓

Brush tops with egg. Bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: Egg adds shine.

Recipe FAQ

Why do I need to peel the peppers?
Pepper skin can be indigestible and remain tough. After roasting, the flesh becomes silky, while the skin is bitter, so it must be removed.
Should I add cheese to the filling?
Feel free! A little feta or manchego cheese goes very well with it.
