- After pork is cooked and tender.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and thyme sprigs and discard.

- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and place a pizza stone inside to warm.
- If you dont have a pizza stone spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Place the remaining leftovers from the slow cooker in a large bowl and add the mango and shredded pork.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit into a 5 to 6 inch round.
- Place 2 large Tablespoons of pork / mango mix into the center and fold the dough over.

- Brush beaten egg over top of the samosa.
- Carefully, place the samosas on the pizza stone (if you use a baking sheet, place the samosas on the sheet and then transfer to the oven) and cook until golden brown.
- About 10 minutes.
- Ive also doubled the slow cooker (pork) portion of this recipe and served two pork chops whole (without shredding) along with couscous and a salad on one night and then using the leftovers to make the samosas.
