This post is literally a treat, particularly for those with dove in the freezer! The video and instructions are from Chef, Jenny Nguyen-Wheatley, see more about Jenny in her bio below.
Instructions
Heat Dove & Pork
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground dove and pork to the skillet, allow the bottom to form a crust before stirring and continue to cook. Transfer meat to plate or bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside. Lower heat to medium.
Sauté Bell Pepper & Onion
In the same pan, add an additional tablespoon of oil, onion, bell pepper and a pinch of salt. Sauté until softened, but do not brown.
Add Cumin & Other Spices
Stir in cumin, paprika, oregano and garlic for 30 seconds.
Add Back Meat & Add stock
Next, return ground meat to the skillet and season with about 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Add chicken stock and simmer until mixture is no longer watery, but still moist, stirring occasionally. Take off heat.
Olives & Cool Mixture
Stir in coarsely chopped olives (about 1/4 cup) and raisins. Allow mixture to cool before filling empanadas. Mixture could be made a couple days in advance.
Fill Empanadas
Add the remaining butter to the hot pan and baste the fish. Increase amount of butter as desired.
Brush, Fold & Crimp
Brush the edge with water and fold over to form half circles. Crimp with a fork.
Fry & Serve
Heat frying oil to 325-350° Fahrenheit. Fry empanadas in batches until golden on both sides and drain. Keep warm in an oven and serve hot.
