Preparation
Step 1:
- In a skillet, heat the oil at medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the rest of the Step 1 ingredients to the skillet.
- Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Drain to remove the excess fat.
Step 2:
- Return the pork and cooked vegetables to the skillet and add the Step 2 ingredients (except for coriander).
- Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until all the liquid evaporates.
- In a bowl, combine the mixture of pork and vegetables with the coriander.
- Refrigerate.
Step 3:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Divide pastry into six balls. Roll each into a 20 cm (8 in.) disk.
- Spread the cooled meat equally on one half of each of the six disks.
- Place two quarters of hard-boiled eggs on each empanada.
- Lightly moisten the edge of the pastry with water.
- Fold the dough over to make a half-moon shape, like a calzone.
- Seal the edges with a fork.
- Beat the egg yolk with the milk.
- Brush each empanada with the egg wash.
- Cook in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the empanadas are nicely browned.
