When following a gluten-free diet, it is not always forbidden to eat animal meat and poultry. Delicious oriental pies - samsa - are prepared not only from puff pastry, but also from unleavened dough. These pies, made from gluten-free dough, are perfect for those who have to or according to preferences follows the BGBQ diet.
It is necessary
- - corn flour - 1, 5 cups;
- - zucchini - 100 g;
- - garlic - 1 slice;
- - salt - 0.5 tsp;
- - water - 2 tablespoons;
- - sunflower oil - 50 ml;
- - turkey meat (fillet) - 250 g;
- - onions - 250 g;
- - salt, cumin, ground black pepper, nigella - to taste
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you should prepare the filling. To do this, take a turkey fillet: a drumstick is preferable, since the filling from the brisket will turn out to be less juicy. Cut the meat into large cubes.
Step 2
Add the diced peeled onions. Season with ground cumin, ground black pepper and salt to taste. If desired, add a chopped clove of garlic to taste.
Step 3
Pour the cornmeal into a wide bowl, which will be convenient for kneading the dough. For a glass, a container with a volume of 240 grams is taken. A cup and a half of cornmeal equals approximately 180 grams.
Step 4
Add salt to the cornmeal and stir. Add raw zucchini, mashed and mashed. The fruit can be grated on the finest grater or mashed with a blender. Together with the zucchini, rub a clove of garlic.
Step 5
Pour sunflower oil into this mixture and grind into crumbs, which collect well in a lump. Now pour in very hot water and stir the ingredients quickly for a very tender corn dough.
Step 6
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each one out using a plastic bag or cling film. Parchment is also suitable for rolling out dough, but parchment will not mold the product, so this material is not recommended in this case.
Step 7
Place the ball of dough between sheets of plastic or cling film and gently roll it out with a regular rolling pin. You need to roll it out quite thinly, about 2 mm. The dough is gluten-free or, otherwise, gluten-free, fragile, not elastic, it will not work to roll it out in the usual way.
Step 8
Without removing the cake from the bag, put a tablespoon with a slide of the filling and, using the film on which the dough was rolled out, blind the edges, getting a ball. Transfer the pie to a baking sheet lined with parchment. All these actions must be performed as carefully as possible, since the dough, which does not contain gluten, is completely inelastic, and tears easily.
Step 9
Sprinkle the top with nigella seeds, pressing them a little into the dough so that they do not crumble.
Nigella, or, as it is also called, nigella, is the seeds of a beautiful annual garden plant with a colorful oriental scent. It is not necessary to sprinkle the samsa with nigella, but it is worth a try, since in combination with the aroma of cumin, this gives an unsurpassed result.
You can find nigella seeds for eating in the eastern shops that sell spices and sweets.
Step 10
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place a baking sheet with samsa on the middle tier of the oven and bake the pies for 30-40 minutes. It is important that the meat is baked well.
When cooked, samsa is no longer fragile. Serve hot gluten-free and casein-free samsa with fresh summer vegetable salad.
