  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or dill

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons milk
  • Safavid Dusting (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon dried ground rose petals and 2 tablespoons ground pistachio kernels

Method

  • 1. Prepare the filling of your choice: In a large skillet, place the onion, garlic, and meat, cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients for the filling and sauté over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the filling is completely dry. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • 2. Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • 3. On a cool, floured surface, unfold one package of the dough. Cut the dough into 3-inch circles, using a cookie cutter (or the open end of a glass) dipped in flour. Fill each circle with 2 full-teaspoons of the filling. Fold each circle into a crescent shape and seal. Fold over the edges using your fingers and pinch to double seal. Carefully transfer to the baking sheet. Do not crowd. Paint the sanbusehs with the glaze.
  • 4. Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • 5. For the pistachio and lamb filling, serve sanbusehs-style by dusting them with confectioners' sugar, rose petal and pistachio mixture. Or, simply dip the sanbusehs in rice vinegar.
