Pumpkin Samsa
Samsa is a national Uzbek dish, which is a puff pastry with various fillings. Most often, pastries are made with a filling of meat and fat tail. However, vegetable options are no less popular. We suggest you try the unsweetened version of samsa with pumpkin filling.
To prepare such baking at home, it is important to choose pumpkin unsweetened varieties with elastic pulp. It is necessary to grind it correctly. Too small cuts will turn the filling into a mushy mass, and with a large cut, the filling can remain raw. Therefore, it is better to cut the pumpkin into cubes with a side of 4 - 5 mm.
Samsa is traditionally baked in special tandoor ovens, but in an ordinary oven you can get an excellent result. To prepare products according to this recipe, you can buy a ready-made puff pastry or cook it at home. For samsa with pumpkin filling, yeast puff pastry is suitable.

- onions - 1 piece;
- vegetable oil - 1.5 tablespoons;
