• Mince pie samoosas

    Serves: 12
    Cooking Time: 20 mins

    Ingredients

    • 2 apples, peeled, cored and grated
    • 50g Demerara sugar
    • 5ml (1 tsp) mixed spice
    • 50g sultanas
    • 50g currants
    • 1 cinnamon quill
    • 4 sheets spring roll pastry
    • 250ml sunflower oil, for frying
    • icing sugar, for dusting

    Instructions

    1

    Place the apples, sugar, mixed spice, sultanas, currants and cinnamon in a small pot, cover and simmer, 6 – 10 minutes. Remove the cinnamon and stir.

    2

    Cut each sheet of pastry into 3 pieces lengthways – you should have 12 strips.

    3

    Place 30ml (2 tbsp) of mixture at the bottom of each strip and fold over and over to form triangular samoosas. Repeat this process with each strip.

    4

    Heat the oil in a frying pan, and shallow-fry the samoosas, 2 – 3 minutes on each side. They should be golden in colour and crisp. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towel. When cool, dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.
