You Say Sambusa, I Say YUM!
School cafeterias around Minnesota are serving Sambusas. Sambusas are a delicious Somali pastry that can be filled with meat, lentils and veggies. Many of the Sambusas being served in Minnesota schools are made in Minnesota by a company called Hoyo, which means mother in Somali.
St. Paul Public Schools serves Sambusas in their lunch room and a food truck!
Sambusas are a delicious meal eaten alone or with bariis iskukaris rice and chickpea salad.
