Sambussa

The other day, my dear friend taught me how to make sambussa, a little fried meat pocket (doesn't that sound appetizing...meat pocket).

Her baby was crying and since I was only on meat-stirring duty, I got to hold all 20 pounds of the beautiful baby, while the fan was off because the fan blows the gas-lit flames away from the pan. So enough complaining.

Let me share my new found sambussa making knowledge.

First step: Mix the dough wrapping.

Second step: Cook the meat with A LOT of onions.

Third step: Roll out the dough into flat circles, toast it, then cut the circles into fourths.


Fourth step: Fold the fourths into small pockets, fill with dough and seal.

Fifth step: Fry, fry, fry.



And there it is a beautifully tasty, fat-filled snack.
