Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.
Melt the butter and beat together with eggs and water. Mix well with the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to let it firm up.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned. Stir in cumin powder, salt, and pepper.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 5 inches in diameter.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and pinch the edges together to seal.
Place the sealed samsa onto the prepared baking sheet.
Beat the egg yolk and brush over each samsa. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
