About

This recipe calls for using half a box of puff pastry. But do yourself a favor and double the recipe, then freeze half of the unbaked empanadas for a future meal (they freeze beautifully). Just before baking, brush the frozen empanadas with the egg mixture and increase the baking time by 5 to 6 minutes.

Ingredients

1 bunch broccoli rabe, thick stems trimmed
