Photo from and recipe slightly adapted from: All Recipes

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 Tbsp berbere seasoning

2 Tbsp water

1 pkg spring roll wrappers

flour, as needed

water, as needed

oil, for frying

Directions:

1. Brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain grease.

Sprinkle with berbere seasoning and approx 2 Tbsp water. Stir; set aside.

2. Mix flour and water together to create a paste. 

3. Cut one spring roll wrapper in half so you have a semi-circle. 

Following package directions, soak a few seconds in warm water so wrapper is pliable.

Fold into cone shape, fill with approx 1 Tbsp meat filling, then seal. 

Coat with flour paste and set aside. Repeat until wraps or filling are used up.

4. Heat oil to approx 365 degrees in heavy pot. Fry a few sambusa at a time until golden brown.

Remove from oil to plate covered with paper towels.

Note: This recipe is a very basic Ethiopian berbere filling. 

You can be very versatile with your meat and seasonings.
