Monday Meals: Samosas

Looking to add an Indian flair to your weekly meals? Our guest bloggers from the Brookfield, Wisconsin Test Kitchen tried making samosas (Indian pocket sandwiches) and were so excited with the results, they couldn't wait to tell the Cool Dads Crew all about it. Since we owe our vegetarian followers a new recipe, we thought this would be a good one to share.

Spinach, Butternut Squash and Feta Cheese Samosas
Recipe courtesy of: We Eat Together

Samosa Ingredients
1 cup frozen butternut squash
1 cup frozen chopped spinach
¾ cup feta cheese
a pinch of masala
a pinch of turmeric
a pinch of black pepper
red pepper flakes to taste

Nasoya egg roll wrappers

Dipping Sauce Ingredients

1 cup cubed mango
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 T salt
1/2 t hot curry paste
Sriancha Hot Chili Sauce to taste

Samosa Instructions:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
Steam cubed butternut squash until soft, add defrosted spinach, feta and spices and mix well.
Cut egg roll wraps in half diagonally.
Fill each wrap about 1 T of filling, and seal in a triangle shape, using water to seal the edges.

Place on greased cookie sheet or parchment paper, lightly spray each samosa with cooking spray.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until brown and crispy. Serve with dipping sauce.

Dipping sauce instructions: add all ingredients to blender and combine until smooth. 

These samosas are a full meal by themselves, but are also excellent served with a curry dish or basmati rice. With the holidays right around the corner, this would also make a festive appetizer at your next party.
