Time 56m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons pine nuts
½ pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 (12-inch) spring roll wrappers
5 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts; cook and stir until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add beef; cook, stirring to break up clumps, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in onion; cook and stir until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; season with cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper. Stir in pine nuts.
  • Cut each spring roll wrapper into three 12x4-inch rectangles. Brush each rectangle lightly with melted butter.
  • Place a heaping teaspoonful of the beef mixture near the short end of 1 rectangle. Fold 1 corner over to enclose the filling and form a triangle. Continue to fold until the rectangle has been folded into a triangular packet, sealing any holes to prevent filling from oozing out. Dab cold water on the outside fold to seal sambusa closed.
  • Repeat with remaining spring roll rectangles and beef mixture. Arrange sambusa on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and golden, about 25 minutes.

The pastry was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would roll it out thinner next time.

I found the filling to be a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time.

These sambusas were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I love sambusas, and this recipe is one of the best I've tried. The filling is flavorful and juicy, and the pastry is flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again.

The sambusas were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice to the filling. Otherwise, they were perfect.

I've made these sambusas a few times now and they're always a hit. The filling is so flavorful and the pastry is so flaky. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them. They're perfect for a quick and easy snack or appetizer.
