Sambousek (Spinach, Meat, Cheese Fillings), So many recipes for Sambousek so I posted the dough recipe I liked and worked best for me after trying several and some favorite traditional fillings You can bake or Fry , I made an account just to say that this recipe is amazing I have used the pastry recipe probably 5 times (a few times the sambousek, but also for pasties and other things) since I first made this three weeks ago, and it’s always turned out great I baked rather than deep fried used the meat filling recipe as a base a couple of times (not the exact recipe) and that was also delicious Thanks for posting this recipe!, Lovely little pitas (pies) as we’d call them in Greece I made small amounts of the various fillings and used refrigerated dough from the supermarket That way, they were quick to make Shallow-fried in olive oil My personal favouritie was the meat-stuffed pastry as I found the meat stuffing very fragrant with the spices Great snack Thanks
