Sambossa
An Ethiopian Appetizer Ingredients
- Won Ton wrappers
- Filling:
- 1/2 C red onions, finely chopped
- 1lb lean ground lamb or beef (I used lamb)
- 1/2 tsp minced ginger
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 4 sprigs fresh coriander (I used more) chopped
- 3 sprigs mint (I used more) chopped
- 2C water
Directions
- 1. Combine all ingredients in heavy sauce pan.
- 2. Bring to a boil and stir to keep smooth.
- 3. Reduce heat to medium and let mixture simmer uncovered.
- 4. Correct flavor for spices and salt balance.
- 5. As water simmers away, stir often to prevent mixture from sticking, especially during final stages.
- 6. Cook until all liquid evaporates.
- 7. If ground meat has a lot of fat, drain off at this point.
- 8. Let mixture cool slightly before stuffing.
- 9. Fill won ton wrappers with 1 to 2 tsp of filling. Moisten and press the edges together in a triangle shape.
- 10. Fry the Sanbossas, several at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Place the golden brown Sambossas on paper towel to rid of excess oil. Serve hot or cold with or without chutney.
