Is there anything better than a crispy empanada fresh from the oven? Zoe Bingley Pullin’s lower-carb version is a deliciously moreish must-try.
This week, in the Get Nourished kitchen, nutritionist Zoe Bingley-Pullin whips up some aromatic mushroom empanadas.
To keep them a little lighter and lower in carbs, she’s swapped buttery pastry for Mountain Bread wraps, and meat for mushrooms.
This also means you can whip them up in a flash; no kneading required.
They’re still perfectly crispy and packed with gorgeous flavour (and vitamin D thanks to the mushrooms) but take half the time to make.
Simply serve with your favourite dipping sauce and enjoy.
