Sambusaks Sumboosaks With Chickpeas Recipes

Steps:

• For the dough: Put the flour in a mixer and then add the sugar, salt, yeast and oil. Let mix for 3 to 5 minutes. Then start adding the cold water slowly until it forms a big ball (add more flour if the dough is thin/ loose). Let mix for 15 more minutes. Then let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Turn the mixer back on and mix the dough for 15 more minutes, and then let rest for 15 more minutes. Put the dough in a pan and cover the top lightly with canola oil and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Then put in the refrigerator and let rest overnight.
• Form 7-ounce balls with the dough and roll lightly with flour. Put them in a proof box at room temperature for 2 hours after you roll it. Place the balls side by side and put a cover on it that is very tight so no air is let in, otherwise it will get dry.
• For the meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the onions in 4 tablespoons of the butter until they are golden brown. Then add in all the allspice, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Then add the meat and continue to stir to avoid clumps. Cook the meat for 15 to 20 minutes.
• In another pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until hot. Add the pine nuts and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes, stirring so the pine nuts do not burn.
• After the pine nuts are cooked, pour on top of the cooked meat. Let the meat cool off at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Take the dough balls and flatten them into a plate shape less than 1/2-inch thick. Use a round shaped cup to cut out 4 dough pieces. Then take 4 tablespoons of the meat mixture and put inside the dough. Fold in half and pinch the dough together.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large pot until it is very hot. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and water together in a bowl to form a dough; cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Divide the dough into 11 portions, and form into balls. Roll each dough ball out on a floured surface to a 5-inch circle.
• Cook the onion in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes; stir in the garbanzo beans, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
• Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep-sided skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Break an egg into a greased custard cup, cover with a square of waxed paper, and cook in a microwave oven on High setting for 40 seconds. Place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the garbanzo bean filling onto a dough circle, place the slightly cooked egg onto the filling, and gently fold the dough into a half-moon shape. Fold the dough edge over and crimp with a fork to seal in the filling.
• Deep fry the sambusaks, one or two at a time, in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove with a wire strainer, and drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• For the Pastry.
• Combine butter, oil, and salt in a bowl.
• Add 1/2 cup hot water and stir.
• Gradually add 2 cups flour.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and work in remaining flour.
• Knead until dough holds together; it will be soft.
• Form into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For the Filling.
• Place feta, parmigiano-reggiano, eggs, baking powder, and pepper in a food processor and pulse until light and creamy.
• For the Turnovers.
• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Divide dough into 20 balls.
• On a floured surface, roll each ball into a round about 4'' in diameter.
• Place a heaping tablespoons of filling in center of each round.
• Brush edges with water, fold to enclose filling, then press edges with a fork to seal(Assembled sambusaks may be frozen.)
• Place sambusaks on 2 lightly greased cookie sheets, then brush with egg wash.
• Bake until golden, 30-35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the dough: In the bowl of a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, semolina, butter, and salt; process until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. While pulsing, add warm water in a slow, steady stream through feed tube, adding more, if necessary; process until dough just comes together. Dough should be soft and moist, not sticky. Cover bowl; set aside.
• Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, gently stir to combine cheese, egg, and salt, if using; set aside.
• On a work surface, divide dough into thirds; keep two-thirds dough covered in the bowl. With remaining one-third dough, form walnut-sized balls, 1 to 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Place sesame seeds in a small bowl; dip each ball into sesame seeds to cover halfway. Using a tortilla press or the palm of your hand, flatten each ball, sesame-side down, into a 2 1/2-inch circle. Place 1 scant teaspoon of filling into center of circle; fold dough over filling to enclose, forming a half-moon shape. Press edges together to seal, and crimp edges decoratively using the back of a fork. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; cover with a damp towel to prevent drying out. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Sambusak can be frozen at this point for up to 3 months.
• Bake until edges are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes; do not allow sambusak to brown as filling will dry out. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• To make the pastry, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in bowl.
• Mix in oil, warm milk, and beaten eggs until a soft dough is formed.
• Cut the dough into small 2 inch balls.
• Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare the filling by heating the oil in a large frypan.
• Add the chopped onions, and cook until they are soft.
• Stir the ground meat into the pan and add the cumin, salt, and pepper. Fry until well cooked.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry balls into 4-inch round circles.
• Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of a rolled-out pastry.
• Moisten the edges, fold, and press together to seal. You may optionally roll the edges inward for a decorative effect.
• Place on a greased baking sheet.
• Repeat the previous three steps for each pastry ball.
• Bake for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Serve warm.
