Lamb tikka samosas
MAKES 6 PREP 15 mins
COOK 20 mins (50 mins from frozen) EASY
2 tsp olive oil, plus 100ml 400g lean lamb mince
4 tbsp tikka paste
1 large onion, grated, excess juice squeezed out
1 large carrot, grated
4 tsp dried mint
2 tbsp mango chutney, plus extra to serve
200g frozen peas
270g pack filo sheets (6 sheets) salad and raita, to serve
1 Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan. Season the lamb, then fry until browned all over. Add the tikka, cook for 2 mins until fragrant, then add the onion, carrot and another 1 tsp oil. Fry for 5 mins until softened. Transfer to a bowl, mix in the mint, chutney and peas. Cool.
2 Spread out a sheet of filo with the short end towards you. Brush with oil all over. Fold each long edge into the centre by 5cm so you have a long, narrow piece of filo. Add about 130g of mixture to the top left of the strip and fold the top right corner of filo over to make a triangle. Continue folding down the pastry to make a samosa shape. Brush with more oil, then transfer to a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Repeat to make five. Wrap the tray in cling film and freeze for up to three months.
3 Bake at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 10 mins, or, to cook from frozen, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook the samosas on the baking tray in the middle of the oven for 35-40 mins, turning halfway through, until golden and piping hot. Drain on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil. Serve with salad, extra mango chutney and raita.
