Meat Sambusa

9 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 5 (12-inch) spring roll wrappers
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts; cook and stir until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
  3. 3
    Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add beef; cook, stirring to break up clumps, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in onion; cook and stir until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; season with cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper. Stir in pine nuts.
  4. 4
    Cut each spring roll wrapper into three 12x4-inch rectangles. Brush each rectangle lightly with melted butter.
  5. 5
    Place a heaping teaspoonful of the beef mixture near the short end of 1 rectangle. Fold 1 corner over to enclose the filling and form a triangle. Continue to fold until the rectangle has been folded into a triangular packet, sealing any holes to prevent filling from oozing out. Dab cold water on the outside fold to seal sambusa closed.
  6. 6
    Repeat with remaining spring roll rectangles and beef mixture. Arrange sambusa on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. 7
    Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and golden, about 25 minutes.
