by Editorial Staff
Samsa is a type of pie made from unleavened dough stuffed mainly with lamb meat, onions, and fat tail fat. We offer you a recipe for samsa from puff pastry at home.
Ingredients
Lamb or beef – 1 kg
Onions – 1 kg
Fat tail fat – 0.2 kg
Salt – 2.5 teaspoon
Ground black pepper – 2.5 teaspoon
Zira – 3-4 teaspoon
Cilantro seeds – 1.5 teaspoon
Egg – 1 pc.
Directions
Cooking the filling. Cut the lamb pulp into cubes with a side of 1 cm (you can also use the beef loin or the inside of the hind leg).
Shred the onion with thin rings and chop it additionally with a knife.
Cut the fat tail fat into cubes with a side of 1.5 cm and set aside.
Chopped meat and onions, add spices: 2.5 teaspoons of salt, 2.5 teaspoons of ground black pepper, 3-4 teaspoons of cumin, 1.5 teaspoons of chopped cilantro seeds.
Roll out a piece of puff pastry to a thickness of 4 mm.
With a round notch, about 20 cm in diameter, we cut out the circles.
In the middle of each mug, we put 2 pieces of fat tail fat (if there is no fat tail fat, you can use butter).
Put 4 tablespoons of the filling on the lard.
We collect the edges of the dough to the middle and pinch carefully.
Lay the samsa on a sheet with the seam down, at a distance of 4 cm from each other. Beat the egg with water.
Lubricate each samsa with meat with an egg-water mixture, sprinkle with sesame seeds, nigella, and chopped cilantro seeds.
We bake samsa with lamb in a preheated oven at 190 degrees for 35 minutes.
