Musakhan Sambousek Recipe – Kiri’s Creamy Mashups

pine nuts

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds are more affordable and provide a similar crunch.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a cost-effective alternative with a neutral flavor.

Prepare sambousek dough and set aside.

Cook onions in olive oil over medium heat until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in chicken, sumac, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, and paprika; cook until chicken is no longer pink.

Add lemon juice and pine nuts; mix well and remove from heat.

Allow filling to cool slightly before assembling sambousek.

Take a piece of dough and roll it out into a circle.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of the dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape; seal edges by pressing with a fork.

Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place sambousek on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush tops with olive oil for golden color.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, or deep fry until crispy.
