Preparation:

  • Get a saucepan and fry the spinach in a little margarine. If you want more of an exotic flavour, add whichever spices you fancy. When the spinach is soft, add the sweet corn and cook for a few minutes.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius and start rolling out the puff pastry.
  • Once it is nice and flat, spread the vegetarian sauce all over, leaving a few centimetres around the edges. Repeat the same process with the other roll of puff pastry. This will serve as the empanada’s lid.
  • Distribute the spinach and sweet corn mixture over the base layer of pastry.
  • Put the lid layer over the base layer and mixture and push down with your fingers around the edges so that the inside is completely closed in.
  • Once you are sure the empanada is fully sealed, place it in the oven for around 30 minutes.

Once the time is up, remove it from the oven, taking care not to burn yourself, and wonder at the amazing smell! Just pray everyone arrives on time so you can get stuck in and eat!
