Deconstructed Beef Samosa

The problem with samosas is that they’re snacks. And when you eat 6 (ahem, 8) of them in one sitting, you kinda start to feel bad about yourself…

I’ve got a solution to the samosa snacking problem: DECONSTRUCTED BEEF SAMOSAS!

What does that even mean? It means you can eat as much samosa filling as you want! Well, it kinda, basically means that.

It’s essentially a plate of samosa filling with a side of Coconut Flour Naan or Paleo Naan that has been baked in an oven to make it crispier and pastry-like! Then you use the cracker-y, crispy bread to scoop beef samosa filling into your mouth.

Eating deconstructed samosas means there’s no one secretly counting how many samosas you’ve eaten since they’ve been talking to you. Yes, samosa shaming is a real thing. 

“I’ve made this dish a handful of times and I keep going back because it’s so delicious. I always make your paleo naans with it and they are so yummy together. Even my mom, who doesn’t eat paleo, loves this dish. I can’t wait to make more of your recipes.”

If you’re an Indian food fan then you might be thinking that this samosa filling is the same thing as keema. It’s not! Okay, it’s pretty similar but when I think of keema – I think of a dish that has to be made with tomatoes. This recipe is tomato-free (but if you want keema, I’ve got a recipe for it in my eBook).

Not feeling the whole deconstructed samosa thing? That’s okay. You can just reconstruct it by making my super easy Gluten-Free Samosa Pastry:

But warning: unless you have serious self-control, you will likely be unable to stop yourself from consuming ALL the samosas within reach.
