The sunny days are coming and this season, I love preparing large mixed salads but what I also like are the small bites that can be enjoyed as a starter or as an aperitif like with my Chicken and Cream Cheese Samosa recipe.
I know I’ve never shared one with you before, but I love making samoussas because I find them super easy to prepare and you can really vary the flavors inside.
You can fill them with beef, chicken, shrimp, vegetables, spices, herbs and more. There are no limits. There are no limits. The sky’s the limit, and a little imagination goes a long way!
By the way, if you’d like me to test other versions for you, feel free to leave me a little comment at the bottom of the article and I’ll make them for you…
When I was little, my mother used to make this for us with leftovers from a previous meal. She’d mix it all together, add a few extras, slip it all into a sheet of brick pastry and that was it, we had a new meal in front of us!
For those wondering how to use the brick pastry sheets to fold the samoussas into a triangle, I’ve included a little drawing-tutorial at the bottom of the recipe.
