Make the Zaragallada<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions, capsicum, garlic, bay leaves and a pinch of salt.<\/li>\n
  2. Cook gently for 20-25 minutes, we want to poach the veggies without giving them too much colour. Stirring occasionally until the vegetables are completely softened and sweet.<\/li>\n
  3. Remove the bay leaves and take the pan off the heat. Stir through the smoked paprika, allowing it to lightly toast in the residual heat.<\/li>\n
  4. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl with a strainer and drain, reserving the flavoured olive oil for the dough.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Make the Dough<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Combine the flour, white wine, water, reserved olive oil, additional olive oil (if required) and salt in a large bowl or stand mixer.<\/li>\n
    2. Knead for approximately 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.<\/li>\n
    3. Cover and rest for 20-30 minutes.<\/li>\n
    4. Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each piece out to approximately 2-3mm thick, large enough to cover a baking tray.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Prepare the Filling<\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, grated tomato and Zaragallada.<\/li>\n
      2. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Assemble the Empanada<\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. Line a baking tray with one sheet of rolled dough.<\/li>\n
        2. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-2cm border around the edges.<\/li>\n
        3. Place the second sheet of dough over the top and seal the edges by crimping them together or pressing with a fork.<\/li>\n
        4. Brush generously with egg wash.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Bake<\/h4>\n
            \n
          1. Bake in a preheated oven at 180\u00b0C for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.<\/li>\n
          2. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

            Top Tips<\/h2>\n
              \n
            • The reserved paprika-infused olive oil is the secret to the dough’s flavour, so don’t skip it.<\/li>\n
            • This empanada is delicious served warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for entertaining or picnics.<\/li>\n
            • While tuna is the one of the most traditional filling, this recipe is incredibly versatile and can also be made with shredded chicken, slow-cooked beef, or even leftover roast meats for an easy and delicious variation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>
