Method
-
Finely chop the green pepper and onion. Soften in a frying pan with the olive oil and salt for 12–15 minutes, stirring until tender.
-
Add the chopped piquillo peppers, tuna and cooked tomato sauce. Cook for 3–4 minutes until no loose liquid remains.
-
Spread out the filling and cool for about 15 minutes.
-
Divide the empanada dough into eight pieces and roll to about 3 mm. Make four bases about 12 × 10 cm and four lids.
-
Divide the filling, leaving a 1.5 cm border, cover and seal with a fork. Beat the egg, brush the tops and cut a small steam vent in each lid.
-
Preheat the empty air fryer for 5 minutes at 180°C.
-
Cook two batches of two spaced-out pies for 12–15 minutes at 180°C, turning with two spatulas after 10 minutes. Check that the bases and edges are cooked, not wet.
-
Rest for 5 minutes and serve one per person. The timing starts with ready-made dough and allows for two batches.
