Savor the delightful fusion of spices and meats wrapped in a flaky crust; it's comfort food at its best!

1

Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

2

Add 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 diced bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the veggies are tender.

3

Remove the sausage skins and crumble the sausage meat into the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes until fully browned.

4

Stir in 1 teaspoon of cumin and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

5

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

6

Take a piece of empanada dough and spoon a portion of the sausage mixture onto one half of the dough.

7

Fold the other half over and crimp the edges with a fork to seal, ensuring there are no gaps.

8

Repeat this process with the rest of the dough and filling.

9

Beat 1 egg in a small bowl and brush it over each empanada for a golden finish.

10

Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
