Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 50 grams, melted Butter
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, and chili flakes. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the spice-onion mixture. Cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in fresh mint, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Let the mixture cool.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Unroll the phyllo sheets and cover them with a slightly damp cloth to keep them from drying out.
Place one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface. Brush it with melted butter, then place another sheet on top and brush again with butter.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets lengthwise into 3 long strips.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef filling at one end of each phyllo strip.
Fold the phyllo over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip in a triangle pattern until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling.
Brush the outside of each filled triangle with more melted butter to ensure a golden and crisp finish.
Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Let cool slightly before serving. These samosas are perfect as an appetizer or a light meal.
