Records of smabousk stretch back to 10<sup>th<\/sup> century Persia, where it\u2019s mentioned in a history of the region and \u2013 yes \u2013 in a poem written in its honour. Since that time, it has travelled far and wide, and provided plenty of inspiration wherever it went. Samosas, empanadas, even spring rolls \u2013 it\u2019s believed by many that the origins of these famous dishes lies in the humble sambousk.<\/p>\n<p>Sambousk (also spelled sambousek or samboosak) is a popular savoury pastry that is typically filled with spiced ground meat, onions, and\/or cheese, and then deep-fried or baked until crispy. The pastry is usually made from a simple dough of flour, water, and oil or butter, which is rolled out into thin circles or triangles and then filled and folded into a triangular or crescent shape.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an essential member of many mezze plates, but sambousk can also be enjoyed alongside a sample of delicious dips, or with a fresh salad such as tabbouleh or fattoush. Below, we lay out the perfect picnic spread with sambousk at its centre.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h3 class=\"cooked-single-ingredient cooked-heading\" style=\"text-transform: capitalize;\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Monjay Meza&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/mjmezza.com.au\/finger-food\/sambousky\/\">Sambousk<\/a><\/li>\n<li>100 grams of marinated pitted black olives<\/li>\n<li>100 grams of marinated pitted green olives<\/li>\n<li>100 grams of marinated chargrilled capsicum<\/li>\n<li>4 baby cucumbers<\/li>\n<li>100 grams of feta<\/li>\n<li>Monjay Mezza&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/mjmezza.com.au\/gourmet-dips\/taramasalata-dip\/\">Taramasalata Dip<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Monjay Mezza\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/mjmezza.com.au\/gourmet-dips\/eggplant-dip\/\">Eggplant Dip<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Monjay Mezza\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/mjmezza.com.au\/gourmet-dips\/tzatziki-dip\/\">Tzatziki Dip<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h2 style=\"text-transform: capitalize;\">Method<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-directions\">\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction cooked-direction-has-number\" data-step=\"Step 1\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>This one is pretty simple.<\/p>\n<p>Cook the sambousk according to packet instructions, either by deep frying or baking.
