I have always loved a Beef Samosa. Whether it be as a side dish or snack it doesn’t matter. They are small enough not to ruin your appetite but full enough to fill a gap. The samosas are little filo pastry parcels for convenience. Samosas can be eaten with a knife and fork or as finger food.

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 300 g beef mince
- 1 large onion chop
- 1 large shallot peel and finely dice
- 1 sprig thyme
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 pack filo pastry
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
- oil for frying
Instructions
- In a hot frying pan ad enough oil to assist with cooking. I use about 1 – 2 tbsp of olive oil.
- Cook the mince with the chopped onion, finely diced shallot and the sprig of thyme.
- Cook for 5 minutes, until meat is browned and the onion and shallot are soft.
- Remove to pan from heat and add the curry powder. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay a sheet of shop brought filo pastry on a clean work surface. Slice the sheet into thirds lengthways so triangles can be formed.
- Add a good spoonful of the mixture at the top of each strip and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Then fold the other way and so on. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.
- Using a deep frying pan add sufficient oil to deep fry and heat over a high temperature..
- When hot, add the samosas carefully and fry until golden brown. turning them every so often gives a balance colour.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
