Traditional buttery flaky pastry dough is wrapped around finely minced lamb meat filling soaked in fragrant spices and baked to golden perfection. The pastry stays crisp on the outside while the inside layers sop up the juices from the meat filling, resulting in a wonderful contrast of crunchy and moist in each bite. These triangular pastries are both crunchy and moist. But as delicious as they all are, this traditional Uzbek Samsa is in a class of its own. On this blog, I’ve posted many stuffed savory recipes, including Manty, Chebureki, Belyashi, and Pelmeni. In Uzbekistan and many countries of Central Asia, you’ll find Samsa, also known as samosas in some places, being sold on street corners, roadside shacks, fancy restaurants, or prepared for family gatherings, where they are commonly enjoyed with a nice cup of tea. Don’t hate me, but I love making some cozy recipes nowadays. If only every weekend could start out with this Uzbek Samsa. I’m sure you guys have noticed, but I have definitely switched into full-on fall mode. These baked triangles stuffed with flavors from Uzbekistan are the Uzbek Samsa, and they are so good, I recommend making a double batch because they will go fast!
