Best 2 Muslim Bean Pie Recipes

Muslim bean pie, also known as sambusak, is a delightful appetizer or snack with a rich history and diverse culinary interpretations. Originating from the Middle East, it is a pastry filled with a savory mixture of beans, often fava beans, along with herbs, spices, and sometimes meat.

This article presents three variations of the classic Muslim bean pie recipe, each offering unique flavors and textures. The first recipe is a traditional vegetarian version made with fava beans, onions, parsley, cilantro, and a blend of spices. The second recipe introduces a delightful twist with the addition of ground beef or lamb, creating a hearty and flavorful filling. Lastly, the third recipe showcases a unique variation using phyllo dough instead of traditional dough, resulting in a crispy and flaky pastry. All three recipes are accompanied by step-by-step instructions, ensuring a successful culinary journey.

MUSLIM BEAN PIE

This recipe was given to me by a friend of my wife. It is the best bean pie I have tried, and I've tried quite a few. I use a convection oven so I'm a little lenient with the bake time. My oven bakes a little faster than regular ovens. I am working on a chocolate version, a low fat version and a sugar free version of this pie. I'll post these recipes as soon as I perfect them.

I got hooked on the Bean Pie I used to get from the Muslim bakery back home, so had to try and recreate it! This is very good and reminds me of pumpkin pie, except it's made from beans. :-) (To get the beans smoothly mashed, I would recommend a food processor).
