Sambossa Ethiopian Appetizer

This is a wonderful little ethiopian snack that is quite similar to a samosa. You skip making the dough by using wonton wrappers. Enjoy!!

Combine all filling ingredients in heavy sauce pan.

Bring to a boil and stir to keep smooth.

Reduce heat to medium and let mixture simmer uncovered.

Correct flavor for spices and salt balance.

As water simmers away , stir often to prevent mixture from sticking , especially during final stages.

Cook until all liquid evaporates.

If ground meat has a lot of fat , drain off at this point.

Let mixture cool slightly before stuffing.

Fill won ton wrappers with 1 to 2 tsp of filling.

Moisten and press the edges together in a triangle shape.

Fry the sanbossas , several at a time , until golden brown on both sides.

Place the golden brown sambossas on paper towel to rid of excess oil.

Serve hot or cold with or without chutney.
