Description

Crispy, golden, and packed with flavour, these minced lamb samosas are wrapped in delicate spring roll sheets for a light, flaky crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 5 brick pastry sheets or spring roll wrappers.
  • 300 g ground lamb
  • 1/2 finely chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cm fresh ginger finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ras el hanout
  • 1/8 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon harissa
  • Chopped parsley
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 eggs


Instructions

  1. Sauté the onion : Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, cover, and cook until it turns soft and translucent.

  2. Add garlic and ginger : Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, then sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  3. Brown the meat : Add the minced to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart so it cooks evenly.

  4. Season well : Sprinkle in the spices: ras el hanout, cumin, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to coat the meat in the spices.

  5. Let it simmer : Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook gently. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  6. Enhance the flavor : Once the meat is cooked through, mix in the chopped parsley and harissa for an extra kick of spice.

  7. Lightly beat the eggs : Crack the two eggs into a bowl and whisk them slightly.

  8. Incorporate into the meat : Pour the eggs into the pan with the cooked kefta and stir continuously to prevent them from sticking.

  9. Cook gently : Allow the eggs to set while stirring occasionally. You want soft, visible pieces of egg rather than a fully scrambled texture.

  10. Cool the filling : Once done, remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. This helps prevent the pastry from becoming soggy when folding.

  11. Cut the pastry sheets : Slice each brick pastry sheet in half.

  12. Add the filling : Place about a tablespoon of the cooled kefta mixture onto one end of the pastry sheet.

  13. Fold into triangles : Fold the pastry over the filling, then keep folding in a triangle pattern until fully wrapped. Ensure the edges are sealed to prevent leaks while frying.

  14. Heat the oil : In a deep frying pan, heat oil until hot but not smoking.

  15. Fry the bricks : Carefully place the bricks in the hot oil and fry them on both sides until they turn golden brown and crispy.

  16. Drain excess oil : Remove the cooked bricks and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
