Directions
- YIELDS 16 PASTRIES
- Rinse the lentils and bring them to a boil in the water. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 45 min. Meanwhile, saute/fry the onions and garlic in the extra virgin olive oil till the onions are translucent/soft. Add in the spices and minced green peppers and simmer, covered, for 3 min, stirring often.
- Remove the pan from the heat. When the lentils are tender, combine them with the sauteed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the won ton wrappers in half to create rectangles. Place a wrapper vertically on a flat surface and brush it with the beaten egg mix. Put a rounded Tbsp. of the filling on the lower end of one of the rectangles. Fold the left bottom corner up and over the filling till it meets the right edge of the wrapper and forms a triangle. Next, flip the filled triangle up and over, folding along its upper edge. Then fold it over to the left on the diagonal. Continue folding till you reach the end of the wrapper and have formed a neat triangular package. Repeat this process with the other won ton wrapper rectangles. Deep-fry each pastry till golden brown in 2 or possibly 3 inches of oil heated to 360F. You can keep the fried sambussas in a hot oven till they are all prepared and ready to be served. Sambussas are best eaten warm.
