SAMBUSA



Sambusa image

This is a Somali recipe. I learned it by watching my Somali friends around Ramadan and I was able to make my own variation. They are really good and I can't stop eating them. They are served during Ramadan, Weddings, Parties, or just because. Since I am married to a Somalian man, I learned to cook a few things, and there are some of my American dishes he loves as well. For a variation you can substitute shredded beef for ground beef.

Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (14 ounce) package spring roll wrappers
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds ground beef
1 leek, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
1 quart oil for frying

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, leek and garlic, and cook, stirring until the onions are transparent. Add ground beef, and cook until about halfway done. Season with cumin, cardamom, salt and pepper. Mix well, and continue cooking until beef has browned.
  • In a small dish or cup, mix together the flour and water to make a thin paste. Using one wrapper at a time, fold into the shape of a cone. Fill the cone with the meat mixture, close the top, and seal with the paste. Repeat until wraps or filling are used up.
  • Heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 170 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or deep heavy pot. There should be enough oil to submerge the wraps. Fry the Sambusa a few at a time until golden brown. Remove carefully to drain on paper towels.

KENYAN BEEF SAMOSAS RECIPE BY TASTY



Kenyan Beef Samosas Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, ground beef, medium red onion, garlic, jalapeño, salt, pepper, ground coriander, cumin, scallions, frozen peas, fresh cilantro, all-purpose flour, salt, olive oil, water, flour, canola oil, lime wedge

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Snacks

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 lb ground beef
1 medium red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
4 scallions, diced
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup water, plus 2 tablespoons more
1 tablespoon flour, mixed with 1 tablespoon of water
3 cups canola oil
lime wedge, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break apart the meat and cook for 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until beef is brown and onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, jalapeño, salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, and scallions to the meat. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the peas and cilantro, then cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the meat filling from the heat and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, olive oil, and water. Use your hand or a spatula to mix together. Once the dough pulls away from sides of the bowl, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 4 minutes or until the dough is smooth and soft.
  • Shape dough into a ball and brush with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a warm damp tea towel. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Remove tea towel and plastic wrap and roll the dough out into a 10-inch (25-cm) long log. Cut into 10 even sections. Take one section and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin circle about 10 inches (25-cm) in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough. Stack the dough circles as you roll them out, sprinkling a bit of flour between each one and keeping them covered with plastic wrap so they don't dry out.
  • In a greased large pan over high heat, place one of the circles of dough and cook for 10 seconds on each side. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Cut one of the par-cooked dough circles into four quarters. Take one quarter and, with the round side closest to you, fold the bottom half to the right. Use the flour paste to seal the fold. Repeat with the left side, crossing over your previous fold to create a cone like pocket. Fill the pocket with meat filling, then fold the remaining tip of the dough towards you and seal with flour paste. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  • In a large, deep pan, heat the canola oil to 350°F (180°C). Once the oil is at the correct temperature, carefully place 4-6 sambusas in the pan. Fry for about 5 minutes, flipping once, until light, golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  • Enjoy!

SAMBOSAS (AFGHAN MEAT TURNOVER)



Sambosas (Afghan Meat Turnover) image

This is a traditional Afghan appetizer, great for parties, a very simple dish that if you ask 100 Afghan chefs you'll get 100 slightly different recipes. This is the one my family always made, and paired it with my yogurt sauce(check my other recipes) for dipping.

Provided by Dr. Tastegood

Categories     Meat

Time 55m

Yield 25-30 Sambosas depending on size of wonton, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground beef (ground chuck is best)
2 garlic cloves
1 small yellow onion
1 (8 ounce) package wonton wrappers (any size will work)
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
salt & pepper
vegetable oil, for deep frying
yogurt, sauce for dipping

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef in a non-stick pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. When its just cooked through, drain on paper towels to dispose of excess grease. Return beef to pan, along with enough drained oil so it's moist, add the cardamom, cayenne, crushed/chopped garlic and the finely chopped onion. Cook until the onion & garlic is softened and spice is fragrant. Remove from heat and cool.
  • To form the sambosas, take about a tablespoon (if using the small wontons, more if using the egg roll size), not too much, ensuing that you can fold the wonton over into a triangle without the filling falling out. Brush one side of the wonton with water at the edge to make a tight seal, using either your fingers or tines of a fork to do this. Make all the sambosas and keep on a sheet covered with paper towels to prevent sticking. You can do all this ahead of time and store covered with Plastic Wrap in the fridge till ready to cook.
  • When ready to finish the sambosas, put a nonstick pan or pot onto med/high heat and add enough oil for shallow frying, about half to 3/4 an inch of oil should do it. Shallow fry in batches till golden brown, and drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt and serve, best when hot but are good at room temp too. I serve them with my family's chilled yogurt sauce(see other recipe). Not healthy but delicious, even my southern wife and family loves them!
  • Enjoy!
