Spicy Empanadas Tapas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 link hot linguica sausage
1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 small yellow wax chile pepper, seeded and minced
1 small tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg, beaten

Preparation

Remove casings and chop linguica.
Saute onion and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add all remaining ingredients except pie crust and egg; cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes more and set aside.
Unroll pie crust and cut into circles with a 3-inch cutter.
Gather scraps, then reroll and cut into circles on a lightly floured board. Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place a small spoonful of meat mixture onto half of each dough circle.
Moisten edges with water and fold over to enclose filling; pinch edges to seal. Place on baking sheets and brush with beaten egg. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
