Beyond Sausage, Tofu and Plantain Empanadas

Serve these vegan empanadas as a delicious addition to your plant based offerings.

Email article

These easy-to-prepare empanadas are made with vegan Beyond Meat ® Beyond Sausage ®, crumbled tofu and deep-fried plantains. Together, the sausage and plantains create a Caribbean flavor profile that wakes up your senses. Serve as a grab-and-go breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Deep-fry the plantains at 350 degrees until they are a deep golden- brown. Remove to paper towels and set aside. Pat the tofu dry and roll it in a clean absorbent towel.
  2. Place a small cast-iron skillet on top and let sit for 15 minutes.
  3. Unwrap the tofu and crumble with a fork into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the onions, peppers and garlic. Cook until the onions are soft. Add the oregano, cumin and cilantro. Let cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Add Beyond Sausage to the pan with the other ingredients. Stir and cook until the sausage is cooked through.
  6. Add the crumbled tofu to the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until heated through. Add the plantains and gently mix in. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the filling into the center of each pot pie crust.
  8. Fold the pie dough in half to form a half-moon and gently seal the edges with your fingers. Then twist and fold the edges of the empanadas with your fingers.
  9. Deep-fry empanadas at 350 degrees until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool.
