These air fryer pork mince samosas are perfect for entertaining, with a deliciously spiced pork curry and pea filling wrapped in crispy filo pastry.

Prep time: 30 mins

Cook time: 5-7 mins

Serves: 20-22

Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky

Ingredients

250g lean pork mince (5% fat)
1 teaspoon oil
½ small onion, peeled and finely chopped
2-3 teaspoons curry paste or powder of your choice
Salt and pepper
50g frozen peas
1 x 270g pack filo pastry sheets (6 sheets)
Spray oil

Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and add the onion, mince and curry paste or powder. Cook for 5 minutes until the onion is soft and the mince is cooked. Season with salt and pepper, if required. 

Step 2

Remove from the heat and stir through the peas and set aside. 

Step 3

Take a sheet of filo pastry and lay on a chopping board. Cut into 4 strips, lengthwise. Keep the remaining pastry under a damp tea towel to prevent the pastry drying out while you work.  

Step 4

Place a spoonful of pork mixture at the end of each strip. Fold a corner of the pastry across to form a triangle. Continue to fold in a triangular fashion until you reach the end of the pastry strip. Brush with water to seal the edges. 

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining filo pastry and filling until you have 20-22 triangular parcels. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. 

Step 6

Spray the samosas with oil, transfer to the air fryer and cook in batches (do not overfill the basket) for 5 minutes, turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining samosas. 

Step 7

Serve the samosas with mango chutney or a raita. 

Tips and Serving Suggestions

The cooking time may vary, depending on the make and model of your air fryer, so use the cooking instructions as a guide.

Alternatively, spray the samosas with oil, transfer to a foil-lined baking tray in a preheated oven at 200°C, 180°C Fan, Gas Mark 6 for 10-12 minutes. 

The samosas freeze well too. To cook from frozen, preheat the air fryer to 190°C and cook for 15 minutes, turning once.
