PREPARATION

In a frying pan over high heat, fry the chopped onions in the olive oil.
Add the grated carrot and then the meat. Bring to a simmer.
Mash the peas in a dish. Season (salt, pepper, finely chopped garlic, cumin, ginger and coriander)
In this dish, mix with the contents of the pan.
Place 1 spoonful of filling on a strip of brick pastry and fold.
Cook in a little oil for 2 minutes on each side.
Place the fried samoussas on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

SAMOSA FOLDING

Use square sheets of brick pastry, it's easier!
Cut them into 3 equal lengths..
Place a spoonful of stuffing at the end of the length,
Bring one corner of this end to the opposite edge to cover the stuffing.
Fold in this way to the end of the sheet.
Insert the remaining sheet towards the inside of the fold to keep the samoussa in a triangle.

TO ENHANCE THIS DISH: THE ASTONISHING BLEND OF TWO GRAPE VARIETIES

The perfect blend of Syrah and Gamay, discover this gem from the Domaine des Nugues:

ELLE ET LUI 2017 - GILLES GELIN

83% Syrah, 17% Gamay noir with white juice, this cuvée goes off the beaten track and gives a visionary result with the Syrah, bringing all its structure and perfume and the Gamay adds the finesse of its fruit. Deep ruby colour, floral nose with subtle notes of sweet spices. On the palate, a rich and luscious expression that offers a very nice length on a fine and precise finish.

A wine of pleasure to share with friends. This Vin de France is a wonderful discovery!
