fiesta empanadas
August 14th, 2009
You possibly will not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes fiesta empanadas but it is possible. It is fundamental to not eat fiesta empanadas or other high calorie deserts every day but in moderation.
As an example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories per day, and then one day, I eat anything - within moderation of course.
I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have simply been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.
I also believe it helps to have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Fiesta Empanadas
1 1/2 pounds Puff Pastry*
1 Quince Paste**
1 Gruyere or Manchego cheese
* See recipe under "Little Ears"
** See recipe under "SOUTHWESTERN CANDY" section
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
With a rolling pin roll the dough until it forms a 12-inch square, 1/8 inch thick. With a sharp knife, trim edges. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes. Remove from freezer, bring the 2 ends of the dough toward the center, and fold lengthwise. Now fold again lengthwise toward the center to make a 4-layer dough 12 inches wide. Transfer to the freezer for 5 minutes. Remove from freezer.
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. With a 6-inch round cutter or pan lid, cut rounds until all the dough has been used. Fill each round with a slice of Quince Paste and a slice of cheese, then fold closed. Lay them on cookie sheets in staggered rows, about 2 inches apart. Return to the freezer for 5 minutes.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden. Transfer empanadas to a wire rack to cool. Serve immediately or the same day.
