Samsa is one of the most delicious dishes of oriental cuisine. Traditionally, lamb is used for the filling, cut into slices and seasoned with herbs and spices. But in our area, the dish plays with new colors - samsa is filled with all the various methods, various types of meat and other products. Below are the most interesting and delicious options for this dish.

Samsa from ready-made puff pastry with meat

Ready-made dough, pre-made by yourself or bought in a store, significantly speeds up the cooking process. And samsa with meat from the finished dough is prepared in just an hour, even taking into account the time of its baking.

Products for the preparation of 6 puff pastries:

  • 1 kg frozen puff pastry
  • 0.4 kg of any kind of meat
  • 0.3 kg onion
  • 40 gr sesame seeds
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp of salt and black pepper.

The cooking method is as follows:

  1. Put the dough out of the freezer to defrost. While it is thawing, we prepare the filling: rinse the meat and chop into small cubes. You can buy ready-made minced meat or skip the meat through a meat grinder.
  2. Peel the onions and finely chop, add to the minced meat. Also add spices to the filling and mix well.
  3. By the time the filling is ready, the dough can already be used. It needs to be slightly rolled out, cut into square layers measuring approximately 10 by 10 centimeters.
  4. In the center of each square we lay out approximately a tablespoon of the filling. We pinch samsa so that we get a triangle. To make the seam exactly strong, you can pinch the plucks with a fork.
  5. We cover the baking sheet with parchment or a special silicone baking mat. We spread the resulting pies and turn on the oven for heating.
  6. Beat the egg in a cup and grease the pastries with it. Sprinkle with sesame seeds on top.
  7. We send the dish to the oven and cook from a third of an hour at a temperature of 200 degrees.

Ready meat samsa from puff pastry immediately after the oven is transferred to the dish and covered with a towel for 10 minutes, and then you can serve it to the table.

On a note. The amount of onion should never be reduced - by tradition, it is added in approximately the same amount as meat. The juiciness of the dish depends on the amount of this vegetable. A larger number will kill the taste of meat.
