We turned the silver medal-winning @dorsognasmallgoods Tasty Sticks into crispy Colombian-style empanadas, and they might just be our new favourite air fryer recipe.


If you've never had an empanada before, think of it as a golden, crispy pastry pocket packed with delicious fillings. This version is loaded with melty bocconcini, blue cheese and Tasty Sticks.




🛒 INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 @dorsognasmallgoods Tasty Sticks, finely sliced (🥈 Silver Medal Winner by the @ausmeatindustrycouncil)

  • 100g bocconcini, chopped

  • 100g blue cheese, crumbled

  • 1 cup pre-cooked corn flour

  • 1¼ cups warm water

  • ½ tsp salt

  • Olive oil


👩‍🍳 STEP BY STEP:

  1. Mix the corn flour, warm water and salt until a smooth dough forms and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  2. Combine the sliced Tasty Sticks, bocconcini and blue cheese.

  3. Divide the dough into balls and flatten into discs.

  4. Add the filling, fold over and seal the edges with the help of a freezer bag.

  5. Place the empanadas in the air fryer basket and brush both sides with olive oil.

  6. Air fry at 200°C for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and crispy.

  7. Serve hot while the cheese is still melty.
