Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
Follow the instructions for preparing the Empanada Dough, allowing it to rise.
While the dough rises, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onions and garlic, cooking until the onions become translucent (about 8 minutes).
Add thinly sliced pork loin and chorizo, stirring occasionally, and cook for approximately 10 minutes.
Then, add the chopped tomato, sliced bell peppers, saffron, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and cook until slightly thickened (about 10 minutes more).
Scatter the chopped hard-boiled eggs over the mixture and immediately remove from heat.
Stir in the warm water.
Assemble the Pie:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Divide the risen dough into 2 equal parts and roll each into a 12-inch round.
Place one round in an ungreased 11-inch pie plate, extending the edges over the side of the plate.
Fill the pie plate with the prepared filling and cover it with the second dough round.
Curl the bottom dough over the top dough and press to seal well.
Cut decorative slits in the top crust.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with milk.
Brush this egg wash over the dough.
Bake and Serve:
Bake the pie for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned.
Let it sit for approximately 15 minutes before serving.
Serve the chorizo pie hot or at room temperature.
