Lumpia

One of my students constantly teases me because I love Lumpia but can't for the life of me say it properly. She is from the Philippines and I keep begging for her to bring me some authentic lumpia but alas...I am stuck with my own version. These were really good even though I had to make them with phyllo dough instead of lumpia wrappers as the store was out.

Ingredients:Carrots
  • Celery
  • Ground beef
  • Beef bullion
  • Onions
  • Garlic
  • Cumin
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Lumpia Wrappers (for phyllo dough)
Directions:
  1. Saute the onions and garlic. Brown the meat and add it to the onions and garlic mixture. Add diced celery and diced carrots. Mix in beef bullion and water. Cook over medium heat for about 15 min.
  2. Place about 2 tbsp meat mixture in the middle of the lumpia wrapper. Roll folding in the top and the bottom so the meat is sealed inside.
  3. Bake for 15 min in an oven preheated to 350 degrees.
