Arabic samosas (Sambousek) from Falastin: A Cookbook (page 294) by Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute any other chilli flakes for Aleppo chilli flakes.

    Delicious. I didn't end up with excess filling, though I did substitute the steak with three slices of Steak-Umms haha... that was my only substitution, though.

    The pastry here is wonderful, easy to handle and roll thinly but robust enough to move once filled. We enjoyed the filling though there was far more than needed for the quantity. It is the pastry I’ll definately be using again.
