Samosanada Filling

This is my favorite empanada filling. I wanted to make Samosas, but I'd never done it, so I decided to make empanadas (which are pretty similar after all) with an Indian-type filling. Thus the whole Samosanada name.
Ingredients
- 1 medium potato, cubed shopping list
- 1 half of a large can of pumpkin puree shopping list
- 1 carrot, sliced into rounds shopping list
- 1/4 head of broccoflower/cauliflower/broccoli, chopped small, like for a salad shopping list
- 1/4 medium sized onion, chopped shopping list
- 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, minced shopping list
- 2 tbsp curry powder shopping list
- 1/2 stick of butter shopping list
- a few dried chiles or some red pepper flake, use as much or as little as you like depending on the level of spiciness you like shopping list
- olive oil (for roasting) shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- water or milk shopping list
How to make it
- Put the cubed potato in a pot with some water and boil until soft.
- While the potato is doing its thing in the pot, put the carrot and broccoflower on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Put the baking sheet into a 400 degree oven and roast until browned and softened, about 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet, melt about a quarter sick of butter and to this add the onions and garlic.
- Saute until softened.
- To the skillet add the pumpkin, and stir.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- When the potatoes are done, drain, and add them to the skillet as well. I like to smash them quite a bit with the back of a wooden spoon as I'm mixing them in. You're not looking to make them as creamy as the pumpkin, just going for a texture difference.
- When the carrot and broccoflower are done roasting add them to the skillet as well. I don't mash these at all, again for the texture difference.
- Now add the rest of the spices and the rest of the butter and stir very well to get the flavors going all the way through.
- Taste it and adjust any of the flavors to suit your tastes.
- Let this mixture simmer on low for at least 20 minutes, stirring as needed, to really get the flavors incorporated. If the mixture seems too thick, add some water or milk as needed.
