Morning Star Mince Samosa (Imitation of meat samosa)

Samosas are a light pastry filled with a savory filling like vegetables or meat. One can have fun creating fillings to suit their taste. I have heard a lot of my friends, who eat meat, tell me that they tried different meat samosas and how good they were. One day surfing for imitation meat recipes, I came across the idea of making samosas out of startergrillers from morning star. I've never tried a meat samosa but the look and the texture of this samosa seemed the same. This can be served as a light snack or an appetizer. It is often served hot with a mint, tomato, or tamarind chutney.

Ingredients:

300g morning star mince (meal starters grillers)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 small carrot, diced small
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 medium potato, peeled and diced small 
2 cloves garlic, crushed
50g frozen peas
1 tsp ground cumin
2 heaped tsp tikka masala curry paste, adjust depending on how hot you like your food
2 tbsp chopped coriander
8 sheets filo pastry, 40cm x 28.5cm
40g melted butter
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Method:

1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add onion, carrot, potatoes and garlic and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes.
2. Add the morning star mince, cumin, tikka masala paste and the frozen peas and cook for 3 minutes. Allow to cool.
3. Lay the sheets of filo pastry on a clean work surface and cut them into three equal strips lengthways. Brush each strip lightly with melted butter.
4. Spoon a tablespoon of the mince filling onto the pastry about 4cm from the bottom. Fold the left corner of the filo diagonally to the right side of the dough to cover the filling and continue folding in the same way until you reach the end of the sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining sheets of filo.
5. Place the samosas on a lightly greased baking sheet, brush with a little more melted butter and sprinkle a few sesame seeds on each samosa. 
6. Bake at 350°C  for 15 minutes or until golden.
7. Serve with mango chutney.
