Brief Description
To make the sambousek, begin with a pastry dough. Jeff used puff pastry dough, but filo dough is okay too. In the fashion that these can be modeled after pretty much any other meat pie, you can shape them however you'd like. The most popular shape is the crescent moon, but you could roll them up like egg rolls or even shape them into triangles. Ours were sort of like egg rolls. When the filling was done we gave the pastry a nice egg wash and then added the filling, rolling the dough around it carefully. We used Berbere Seasoning in our meat filling to really enhance the flavor of this dish, but you could use whatever spices or seasonings that you want to. Jeff fried the sambousek, but you could bake them if you wanted it to be a little bit healthier. If you do fry them, pat them dry with a paper towel before serving so they will be less messy. The dipping sauce is the thing that absolutely makes this recipe a standout. One of our taste testers called it "awesome sauce" which was truly a throwback to early 2000s slang, though he probably didn’t think about that when he gave it that moniker. Usually it’s just called aioli sauce. The aioli can be used as a dip or even smothered all over the sambousek, depending on your preferences. Find more delicious recipes on the Spices, Inc website.
