Beef Samosas

This is something that I loved to eat growing up. These are crispy on the outside, baked until golden, and filled with a perfectly spiced beef filling. They are a great snack, and are baked instead of fried, so they are healthier for you. Pair them with a peach or mango chutney, or a mint yoghurt dipping sauce.

Greek Moussaka

This is a dish that embodies a labour of love. It takes a bit of time and energy to make it, but it is worth every ounce of energy once you take that first bite. It is so full of flavour, perfectly balanced between creamy and meaty, and makes for the perfect comfort meal. It’s a traditional Greek dish, and this is the closest I’ve managed to get it to the Moussaka we had when we visited Crete. It’s also one of those perfect dishes to make double of, then keep in the freezer for a day when you want some comfort food instantly.

The result? The best damn tacos you’ve ever eaten.
