Serobe Samosas
Serobe Samosas are a popular dish in Botswana cuisine, featuring a delicious filling of tripe and spices wrapped in a crispy pastry shell. This recipe offers a unique and flavorful twist on traditional samosas.
Ingredients
- 500g tripe, cleaned and diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 sheets of phyllo pastry
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- In a large pan, cook the tripe over medium heat until browned. Add the onion, tomatoes, and garlic, and cook until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the cumin, coriander, and chili powder. Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry and brush with melted butter. Place a spoonful of the tripe filling at the bottom of the sheet, then fold the bottom corner over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle up the pastry sheet until the entire sheet is wrapped around the filling. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheets and filling.
- Place the samosas on a baking sheet and brush the tops with additional melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
- Serve the serobe samosas hot, with your choice of dipping sauce or chutney.
