Reduce the heat to medium, induction setting 6, add the onion, capsicum and garlic; cook for 5 minutes. 3. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, stock and saffron and continue cooking for 15 minutes, or until the liquid has halved. Add the chives and season to taste. 4. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then refrigerate for 3 hours. Empanada dough 1. Place the flour, salt and butter into the bowl of a freestanding mixer with a dough hook attachment. 2. Rub the butter into the flour with your hands until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs. 3. Add the water and mix on medium speed for 4 minutes. This dough should be sticky, but still pull away from the sides. 4. Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Pebre (tomato and coriander salsa) 1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and season to taste. To serve 1. Take the dough out of the fridge and roll 2 mm thickness then cut into 10 cm rounds. 2. Place 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture and some olives into the centre of one pastry round. Lightly spread a little water around the edge, fold in half and pleat edges to seal (see hints and tips for extra detail). 3. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough and filling. Make 2 or 3 small holes on top of the empanada with a fork or skewer. 4. Preheat the oven on Moisture Plus with Fan Plus at 200°C with 1 manual burst of steam. 5. Whisk the egg and milk in a small bowl. Brush each empanada with the egg mixture and place on two universal trays. 6. Place the trays on shelf levels 2 and 4 and release the burst of steam immediately. Cook for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with pebre and roasted pineapple chilli sauce.
