Ethiopian Sambussa -- Healthy Baked Cousins Of Samosas With Phyllo Dough!

• 1 phyllo dough sheet per sambussa, frozen, thawed for a few hours - I made 4
• olive oil
• 1/4 cup dried lentils
• 1 tablespoon onions chopped
• 1 teaspoon Berbere spice mix see recipe below
• juice 1lime
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger dried, or fresh grated
• salt
• 1/4 cup red chilis dried, de-seeded for hot chilis
• 1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon all-spice
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon peppers whole black
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon basil dried sacred, powder, optional

1. Preheat oven to 375F
2. Cook lentils per package direction. After they are cooked, mash them slightly with a fork. Add onions, berbere, ginger powder, lime juice and salt. Mix well. Adjust the spices per taste. Set aside.
3. Prepare the phyllo dough:
4. Spread out one phyllo dough sheet on your kitchen countertop. Brush the insides with olive oil using a kitchen brush or your fingers.
5. Carefully fold the sheet in one third. Phyllo is very flaky and tears easily so be very careful when pressing it into thirds. Brush the one-third side facing you with a bit of olive oil (particularly the edges).
6. Add 2 spoonful of filing an inch away from the edges.
7. Fold the phyllo in triangles until you reach the end of the sheet.
8. Continue folding until you reach the end of the sheet. If the filling starts to ooze out a bit, try to tuck it in and fill less the next time. When you reach towards the end, brush a bit of olive oil to the last fold and tuck the ends in.
9. Spread the sambussas on a baking sheet.
10. Bake in a pre-heated 375F oven on upper third rack for 35mins or so until the tops are golden brown.
