Ingredients
For the Filling:
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (or use your favorite protein or vegetables)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
1/4 cup chopped onions (optional)
1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Dough:
1 package of store-bought samosa pastry (or use homemade dough)
1 egg, beaten (for sealing and brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, bell peppers, onions, olives, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the Samosas: If using store-bought pastry, follow the package instructions. Typically, you'll find ready-made samosa wrappers in the frozen section of your grocery store. Lay out one samosa wrapper on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Fold the wrapper into a triangle shape, sealing the edges with a bit of beaten egg. Press down to ensure the samosa is tightly sealed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Cook the Samosas: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Alternatively, you can bake them. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), brush the samosas with beaten egg, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the samosas cool slightly before serving. They pair wonderfully with a side of marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
These Pizza Samosas are sure to be a hit with everyone. They’re easy to make, packed with flavor, and perfect for a weekend snack or appetizer. Enjoy your weekend with this delicious treat!
