WHAT ARE SAMOSAS?
Samosas are little triangular pastry pockets stuffed with all kinds of tasty fillings.
Take something delicious, wrap it in pastry, and the only possible outcome is that it becomes more delicious – so you know samosas have got to be good.
Samosas are generally thought of as an Indian snack or side dish. These tofu and spinach samosas aren’t Indian-spiced, but you can add some extra spices if you want to.
TOFU AND SPINACH SAMOSA FILLING
The recipe starts simply, with mushrooms, onion and spinach cooked together in a pan. Don’t forget plenty of garlic! Garlicky mushrooms cooking is one of my favorite smells in the world.
Then add some diced tofu, for a bit of protein.
The original recipe on the Actifry app also has an egg mixed into the filling, but it says you can skip the egg if you want your samosas to be vegan. I tried making them both with and without the egg, and they ended up tasting much the same.
