BEEF SAMOSAS
Beef and potatoes are the main ingredients folded inside these wonderful deep fried samosas. Chicken livers may be substituted for beef, if you choose. My friend from Bangladesh gave me this savory, spicy recipe. You just can't buy better in the shops.

ETHIOPIAN BERBERE BEEF SAMBUSAS
These sambusas are filled with a tasty beef (or half beef and half ground lamb) filling that is flavored with berbere spice, chilis, onions, garlic, ginger, etc.. Serve them as an appetizer or as a "pastie" alongside a crisp salad.

Steps:
- 1. To a skillet add oil over medium heat, saute the cumin seeds and crushed bay leaves, until they become fragrant
- 2. Add the chopped onions until almost translucent. Add garlic, and ginger until flavors are released, being careful not to burn the garlic and ginger.
- 3. Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomato juices have evaporated.
- 4. Add the beef and break up with a spoon.
- 5. Add the chilis, berber spice, salt and pepper. Taste for seasonings and adjust if necessary to your taste.
- 6. Cook until the meat is no longer pink and all the moisture has evaporated, about 15 minutes or so. (NOTE: It is important that the mixture is as dry as possible.)
- 7. Spoon a bit of filling onto the end of each sambusa wrapper. Do this in an equilateral triangle shape. Then gently fold the sambusa over, keeping the filling tightly wrapped inside. Use a water and flour mixture to help glue edges. Continue until you reach the end of the wrapper. For more detailed directions, follow Sambusa Dough method written below.
- 8. NOTE: Take care not to leave holes at the corners of the triangle because that will let in too much oil.
- 9. Fry in oil over medium-high heat until golden brown. (5-10 minutes). Remove Sambusa's and drain on paper towels. Best served when hot.
- 10. SAMBUSA DOUGH DIRECTIONS:
- 11. Mix all ingredients together and knead until smooth. Dough should be soft but not sticky where dough is just moistened and comes together in a ball. You may need to add more water or flour to achieve the right consistency.
- 12. Split the dough into equal size balls. Below are two different methods for rolling out the dough, one is using a pasta machine roller and the other is by hand. If you are using a dough machine, split them into 8 small balls and if you are going to work them by hand split the dough into 4-6 larger balls, according to the size baking pan you are going to use. Let the dough relax for about 30 minutes.
- 13. 1ST METHOD - USING A PASTA DOUGH MACHINE:
- 14. Take one of the small dough balls and coat it in flour. Turn on the dough machine and put the dough through on the thickest setting (On some dough machines, this setting is listed as 1).
- 15. Then change the setting to the next thickest setting, (number 2), and roll the dough through it again.
- 16. At this point, fold in both sides of dough in order to get the dough a bit more narrow and to fit better. Then place the dough back through settings number 1 and 2, and finally 3 and 4.
- 17. If the dough becomes too long or thin for you to work with, you can cut it into 2 or 3 pieces. Also continue to coat the dough with flour while working with it so that it doesn't stick to the machine.
- 18. Cut the dough into 2 or 3 rectangle shaped pieces, about the right size for sambusa wrappers.
- 19. Trim the ends if they are uneven. Coat the dough very well with flour and place them on a baking sheet stacked about 3 high. (It's very important to make sure they are coated well with flour otherwise they will stick to each other and become unworkable).
- 20. Place these in a 200 F oven for about 4-5 minutes, or until the dough is partially dry and a bit more firm, being CAREFUL not to dry it too much so that it won't crack, but firm enough so it holds its shape when you are ready to work with it. The point is not to cook the dough, but just to get it firm and sturdy.
- 21. 2ND METHOD - WORKING IT BY HAND:
- 22. Take one of the large dough balls and coat it in flour.
- 23. Press the dough into a large circle on the table and then pick it up and stretch it between two fists gently until it grows larger.
- 24. Stretch the dough over the bottom of a flat baking sheet, trying your best to keep it even in thickness.
- 25. Let the dough relax for 5 minutes to prevent it from shrinking, then cut it into rectangle shapes, trimming off any excess to keep them as rectangle shapes.
- 26. Place the cut-outs on cookie sheets (not stacked) into a preheated 200-degree F oven for about 4-5 minutes, or until the dough is partially dry and a bit more firm, being CAREFUL not to dry it too much so that it won't crack, but firm enough so it holds its shape when you are ready to work with it. The point is not to cook the dough, but just to get it firm and sturdy.
- 27. Once you are done with the sambusa dough, coat well with flour and stack and place in plastic wrap for storage. You can leave it for a few days in the fridge or longer in the freezer until you are ready to use it.
- 28. FOLDING INTO TRIANGLES:
- 29. Once you are ready to add the filling of your choice, ready up the Sambusa dough for cooking.
- 30. Cut a 60 degree angle on one end. Then place the filling down in the shape of an equilateral triangle.
- 31. Carefully fold the triangle over, so that whatever side was pointing down is now pointing up. Continue this movement until you reach the end of the dough. Trim off any excess and if the end is too dry you can add a bit of water or water/flour mix to help it stick together so it doesn't come apart during the frying.
- 32. Makes approximately 48 sambusas.

- Prepare the dough by combining flour, water and salt and mixing in a stand mixer on low speed with a dough hook attachment for 5 minutes. This type of dough is very stiff so you must use a powerful, commercial grade mixer. If mixing by hand, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and let the flour hydrate for 5 minutes or longer, then knead for 5 minutes. Wrap in plastic and let sit at room temperature for at least half an hour.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to a rectangle about 1/16 inch thick. Pour 3 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil and spread out evenly across the entire surface. Roll the dough into a tight log, making sure there are no air pockets. Slice the log into about 16 1-1/4 inch cylinders. Flatten each cylinder with the palm of you hand, then roll out to a 5 inch circle.
- Put about 3 - 3-1/2 ounces of meat filling in the center of each circle. Seal as shown in the picture instructions above and place on a large baking sheet seam side down.
