Sambusa

Ingredients

• 12 sheets spring roll wrappers
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Finely chop the 1 medium onion and mince the 2 garlic cloves. Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the 1 lb ground beef, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

4. 4

   Lay one spring roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place a heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture near one corner.

5. 5

   Fold the corner over the filling, then fold the sides inward to form a triangle. Continue folding until the wrapper is used up, sealing the edge with a dab of water.

6. 6

   Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling to make 12 sambusas.

7. 7

   Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the sambusas in batches, without crowding, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

8. 8

   Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
