To prepare a delicious recipe for green onion pies, we will start with the necessary ingredients and detailed steps that will help us achieve an exceptional dish. In a bowl, beat an egg with a pinch of salt, ensuring that the salt dissolves well. Then, add the oil and sparkling water, mixing with a whisk or a fork until you obtain a homogeneous and slightly frothy mixture.
Once the mixture is well homogenized, start adding the flour gradually, mixing constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Knead the dough with your hands until it becomes elastic and separates from the bowl and fingers. If necessary, add a little extra flour, but be careful not to overdo it, as a dough that is too dry will result in less fluffy pies.
Once the dough is ready, roll it out with a rolling pin on a well-floured surface to form a medium-thick sheet. Then, take the green onions, cleaned and finely chopped, and distribute them evenly over the surface of the dough. Roll the dough into a log, making sure to wrap the ingredients as tightly as possible. After you have formed the log, shape it into a snail, joining the ends to prevent it from unraveling when frying.
After forming the snail, roll it out again with the rolling pin until you obtain a sheet of suitable thickness. Divide the sheet into two or four parts, depending on the desired size for the pies. In a pan, heat the oil over medium to low heat and fry the pie pieces on both sides until they become golden and well-cooked. Make sure not to leave them too long, so they don’t dry out, just until they achieve an appetizing crust.
Once the pies are fried, remove them to an absorbent napkin to eliminate excess oil. Place them on a plate and cover them with a clean napkin to keep them warm and fluffy.
To accompany these delicious pies, prepare a fragrant garlic sauce. Clean a few cloves of garlic, chopping them finely or pressing them through a garlic press. If you want a spicy note, clean the chili pepper of seeds and veins, then chop it finely and add it to the mortar along with the garlic. Mix this mixture well with a pinch of salt until it becomes a uniform paste.
To achieve the right consistency, gradually add olive oil, alternating with balsamic vinegar, mixing vigorously to emulsify the ingredients. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking. If you want to thin the sauce, add a little sparkling water to give it a more fluid texture, ideal for accompanying the pies. This spicy sauce will add extra flavor and transform every bite into an unforgettable culinary experience.
