Savory Artichoke Cups with Meat
Ingredients
Dough
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon fine instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fine-grained sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 cup corn oil
- 1 cup warm condensed milk
Filling
- 2 tablespoons corn oil
- 300 grams ground meat
- 1 large onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon mixed spices
- 1 cup frozen chopped artichoke
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation
In a mixer bowl, place 2 1/2 cups of flour, the yeast, salt, sugar, baking powder, and oregano. Attach the dough hook and mix for a few seconds until combined. Add the oil and warm condensed milk and mix on low speed for 3 minutes to form a smooth, elastic dough. Add the remaining flour if needed. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, oil the surface, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
In a wide skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of corn oil over medium heat. Add the onion and stir with a wooden spoon until softened. Add the ground meat and stir until it dries out. Add the salt, black pepper, and mixed spices. Stir in the frozen chopped artichoke and cook until the mixture is completely dry. Remove from heat and let cool.
Grease cupcake molds lightly with oil and set aside.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle and cut it into 3.5-inch rounds using a cookie cutter. Place each round into a muffin cup, pressing to cover the bottom and sides. Fill with the meat mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, and pine nuts. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Cover and let rest in a warm place.
Position the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 180°C.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
