Sambusa Filling

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Lentils

    In a pot, add 1 cup of lentils and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and chopped jalapeño, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked lentils to the skillet along with cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
