Ingredients to make basastites of zucchini:

1. The first step to make the basst recipe for Zapallitos is to peel and chop the onion. Then take it to a pan with the maximum fire and 1 teaspoon of oil. When it starts to transparent, lower the fire halfway and add 1 tablespoon of hot water.





2. When the water evaporates, remove the onions and, in the same cooking bottom, add the zucchini, previously washed and cut into medium-sized cubes. Not very small cuts or they will disarm a little, although it is to taste. Keep the high heat so that they brown and do not release much liquid or moisten the dough of your empanadas. When they brown on the one hand, move them to turn them and brown down all their faces.





3. Take sauteed vegetables to a container to mix with condiments and with a healthy white sauce. To make it, you just have to dissolve the cornstarch in cold milk and heat it in the microwave for 1 minute. Then mix and heat 30 seconds until it thickens, always mixing. Keep in mind that, as the vegetable is somewhat wet, we seek that the white sauce is very thick to amalgamate the filling.



Trick: If you do not have microwave, you can cook the white sauce in a pot with the medium heat, stirring constantly for about 4 minutes until it thickens.





4. When the filling is cold, you can put together the basastites covering the interior of a mold for Muffin with the empanada covers and adding an abundant tablespoon of filling of zapallitos in the center. Cooking your slices empanadas in this type of molds, will allow you to prepare the filling and dough together, without risk of disarming. If you do not have these molds, at the end of the recipe we provide you with some ideas to replace them.





5. Kitchen the empanadas of basastites for about 7 minutes in the oven at 200-220 ºC, it will be enough for the covers to brown and the filling is hot. To eat! Tell us in the comments your opinion and share with us a photograph of the final result.
