CAPE COD SEAFOOD


Crab and Goat Cheese Empanadas
Serves 4-6   

Dough
2 cups all-purpose flour                    
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 lb. plus 2 Tbsp. butter, cut into small cubes        
1/3 cup cold water

    Combine flour, salt, and butter in food processor, run until it becomes a coarse meal. Add all the water and pulse until it forms a dough. Allow to rest for 1/2 hour.



Filling
1 tablespoon, olive oil                    
1 Spanish onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced                    
1/4 habanero, minced
1 pound picked lump crabmeat                
1 cup soft goats cheese
1 teaspoon chopped thyme                    
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

   In a sauté pan on medium, heat olive oil and sauté onion, garlic, and habanero. In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.


Method

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, making a rough circle about 1/8-inch thick. With a 3-inch diameter cookie cutter, cut circles. Place about 2 teaspoons of the filling into the center of each circle. Moisten the exposed dough with a finger dipped in water. Fold the empanada in half, press the firmly together, sealing with a fork around the edge. Bake for 15 minutes. Serve with Mango Chutney.
