Thin pastry sheets are filled with seasoned ground beef, folded into triangles, and fried until crisp. Sambusek is a classic appetizer often served to guests in Saudi Arabia.
Sauté the onion in olive oil until golden. Add the ground beef and cook until it changes color.
Add the cumin, cinnamon, baharat spice blend, and crushed garlic cloves to the browned beef. Sauté for another 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Spread the seasoned filling on a wide plate and let it cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Place a spoonful of the cooled filling in the center of each pastry sheet. Moisten the edges with beaten egg and fold into a triangle.
Heat the frying oil over medium heat. Fry the sambusek for 5 minutes, until golden on both sides.
Keep the frying oil from getting too hot, or the outside will brown quickly while the inside remains raw. Allergens: contains eggs and gluten (pastry).
