SALAMA × Loretto: How Signature Bone Marrow Samsa Is Made

The Second Part of the SALAMA and Loretto Culinary Collaboration

SALAMA restaurant chefs Khojakbar and Eldor continue their video series preparing signature menu dishes using Loretto appliances. This time, the focus is on the signature bone marrow samsa, one of the most recognizable items on the restaurant's menu.

What Makes This Samsa Special

The secret to its flavor lies in the combination of three elements:

• thin, crispy, golden pastry;
• juicy beef and onion filling;
• the rich, deep flavor of bone marrow added directly inside the samsa.

Thanks to the bone, the filling becomes especially juicy and aromatic — this is exactly the element that sets SALAMA's recipe apart from the classic version of the dish.

Presentation: Two Sauces Instead of One

The restaurant doesn't just serve the samsa plain — it comes with two sauces that bring out the flavor in different ways:

• Chimichurri — a spicy, herby sauce that adds freshness and a light kick to the dish;
• Tomato sauce — a thicker, richer sauce with a tang that balances the richness of the filling.

This combination allows every guest to tailor the flavor to their taste — from mild to bold and spicy.

Why Loretto Appliances Are Perfect for This Recipe

For the pastry to turn out truly crispy and golden while the meat inside stays juicy, stable and even baking temperature is essential. That's why the chefs recommend Loretto appliances for making samsa at home — they provide even heating without dried-out edges or an undercooked center, which is critical for layered dough.

This is especially relevant for those who want to recreate the restaurant recipe at home: the difference between an oven with even heating and a regular one is often the deciding factor for the result.

Try It and Recreate It

You can try the original bone marrow samsa at SALAMA restaurant. And if this recipe has inspired you to make the dish yourself, Loretto appliances are perfect for achieving that same crispy pastry and juicy filling at home.
