This fresh beef sausage blends ground beef with garlic, ginger, and a fragrant mix of cumin, coriander, and cardamom, cooked loose to fill sambusa or samosa wrappers. It works equally well as a filling for pastries or served alongside rice as a spiced meat crumble. The mixture comes together quickly in one skillet, making it a practical base for a larger sambusa-making session.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Method

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

  3. Add the garlic, ginger, and minced jalapeño, and cook until fragrant.

  4. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until no longer pink.

  5. Stir in the cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt, and cook until the beef is fully cooked through and any liquid has evaporated.

  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cilantro and lemon juice.

  7. Cool the sausage mixture to room temperature before using it to fill sambusa wrappers.
