Sambusa

Make dough by mixing flour, salt, olive oil, and warm water. Knead for five minutes until smooth, then rest thirty minutes.

For the filling, cook ground beef or lentils with onion, jalapeños, berbere, cumin, salt, and cilantro until done.

Roll dough thin and cut into strips about eight centimeters wide. Place a spoonful of filling at one end.

Fold the corner over the filling to create a triangle, then continue folding in a flag-fold pattern to seal.

Heat vegetable oil to 175C and fry sambusas for three to four minutes, turning once, until crispy and golden.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot with awaze sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the side.
