Samsa with minced meat

Samsa with minced meat is a juicy classic pastry popular in Uzbek national cuisine. The recipe for puff samsa with minced meat requires a filling of meat with onions and puff pastry. Cooking the dish at home takes a little more than an hour. Even novice cooks can make a delicious snack. You don’t have to make the dough yourself, you can buy it ready-made and just take it out of the package and defrost it.

How to cook Samsa with minced meat

Step 1

Samsa with minced meat

Prepare the filling. Add onion, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley to the minced meat and mix. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Samsa with minced meat

Prepare the samsa. Roll the defrosted puff pastry into a tight roll and cut it into circles. Roll each piece into a flat cake. Take the filling out of the refrigerator and spoon it onto the rolled pieces. Wet the edges of the circles with water, this helps to stick them together more easily. Shape the samsa into a triangle. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cover the baking sheet with parchment. Place the samsa on the baking sheet, brush with yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Samsa with minced meat - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute puff pastry with phyllo dough or even homemade dough, though the texture will be slightly different. Phyllo will be crispier, while homemade dough may be denser.
Leftover samsa can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness.
Absolutely! Replace the minced meat with mushrooms, lentils, or a mix of mashed potatoes and caramelized onions for a delicious vegetarian filling.
Assemble the samsa but don’t bake it. Freeze them on a tray first, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
For a vegan option, use plant-based milk or olive oil instead of egg yolk. It won’t brown as much, but it will still crisp up nicely.
Yes! Adjust the size by cutting smaller or larger puff pastry circles. Smaller samsa will cook faster (reduce time by 5-10 mins), while larger ones may need extra time.
Samsa goes well with yogurt-garlic sauce, spicy chili dip, or even a tangy tamarind chutney for a flavor contrast.
Yes! Air-fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden. Brush with oil for extra crispiness.
If the puff pastry is too cold, it may crack. Let it soften slightly at room temperature before rolling. If using phyllo, keep it covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
Yes! The filling can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Just mix well before using to redistribute any separated juices.
