Step 1
Gently fry the leeks in the oil for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for another couple of minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the breadcrumbs), cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in enough breadcrumbs to absorb any liquid and firm up the mix, and allow to cool before making your empanadas.
