INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 🧈 1 tablespoon butter
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, minced
    • 2 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and cubed
    • 🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 large yellow squash, cubed
    • 🧅 2 green onions, chopped
    • ½ cup chopped fresh spinach
    • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
    • 🥚 1 egg
    • 💧 1 teaspoon water
    • 1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie

STEPS

1

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

2

Stir in kohlrabi, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until kohlrabi has softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss in yellow squash and continue to cook until squash is tender for 4 more minutes.

3

Stir in the green onion, spinach, and nutmeg. Add more salt and pepper as needed. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute. Set mixture aside to cool.

4

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg with water in a small bowl; set aside.

5

Roll out the pie crust by running a rolling pin over it once or twice. Cut out about 16 6-inch circles using a large cookie cutter or cereal bowl.

6

Fill the center of each circle with about 1 tablespoon of the kohlrabi mixture. Brush the edges of the pastry with water, then fold the dough in half. Crimp the edge of the dough with a fork to seal, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pastry and vegetable filling. Prick each empanada with a fork, then brush with the egg wash.

7

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and flaky, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve hot from the oven.
