Ingredients
  

  • 2 sheets vegan puff pastry
  • 2 cups button mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup pitted olives sliced
  • 2 Tbsp green onions chopped
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dry oregano
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp black sesame seeds
  • cup homemade tomato dipping sauce for serving
  • 3 Tbsp green onion chopped (for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the olive oil. When hot, add the finely chopped onion and saute for about a minute.
  • Add chopped mushrooms and let them cook. Add paprika, oregano and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until all the mushroom liquid is gone - about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, green onion and sliced olives. Mic to combine and remove from heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Roll the dough on a clean surface. Using a circle pastry cutter, cut the pastry into circle shapes.
  • To assemble the vegan empanadas, spoon about 1 tbsp of mushroom mixture on every pastry circle.
  • Fold the dough over the filling so that the edges touch. Using a fork, seal the dough over the filling by pressing down along the edge of the semi-circle and place on parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Brush the vegan empanadas with some olive oil, top with sesame seeds and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden.
  • Serve with a tomato sauce and fresh greens.
