Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 8 ounces plant-based ground beef
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 sheets vegan phyllo dough sheets
- 0.5 cup vegan butter, melted
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the plant-based ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in cumin seeds, ground coriander, turmeric powder, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper, mixing well to combine spices.
Add the thawed peas, stirring until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in chopped cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place a single sheet of vegan phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted vegan butter.
Fold the phyllo sheet in half lengthwise to form a long rectangle.
Place a tablespoon of the filling on one end of the folded sheet and fold it over into a triangle, continuing to fold in a triangle pattern to the end of the strip.
Brush the outside of the samosa with more vegan butter and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining filling and phyllo sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
