Fore River Sanctuary Samosas with Mango Dipping Sauce

I don’t typically cross-post across my two blogs, preferring to compartmentalize my life (hah) but I’ve been so busy recreating this recipe I didn’t get round to writing anything else.  So indulge me.

Portland Trails is holding a “Trail Gourmet” Recipe Contest and I won’t beat around the bush.  I’d like to win.  I thought long & hard about which of my recipes to enter, and while walking the Fore River Sanctuary this week it came to me.  SAMOSAS.  I’d created a fantastic low sodium recipe for samosas four years ago, shortly after launching The Daily Dish.  While a little time intensive to make, these samosas freeze beautifully and would showcase one of Maine’s premier agricultural crops: Potatoes!  Samosas are perfect hiking fare.  Small and portable, yet hearty and filling.  They’re a healthy meal in an incredible, edible wrapper.  And they’re DELICIOUS – especially with the tangy subtle sweetness of the mango dipping sauce, which is easily toted in any lightweight lidded container. Double dipping a MUST!  So if you’re craving something extraordinary the next time you head out on the trail, look no further than Fore River Sanctuary Samosas with Mango Dipping Sauce.  Gourmet vegetarian snacks that pack a healthy, meal-like punch – NO SILVERWARE NECESSARY!

YES. I know I wanted it done last month, but I also wanted it done right. And sometimes that takes a bit more doing. After much exhaustive work and the collaborative efforts of my beloved husband, the new site is up and running. Good as gold. I love the new layout, the clean look and improved features. The site is now fully indexed and searchable. The RSS feed so many of you requested is NOW AVAILABLE – and each of the recipes can be critiqued through comments. Please take a look at the new site and let me know what you think. It has been A LOT of work and I am very proud. Speaking of work, Having to update everything and go through each and every recipe (334 at last count) was both grueling and surprisingly wonderful. I am grateful beyond belief to all of my readers, who have made this endeavor so rewarding, as well as to my family for helping me accomplish so much.

Last, I know many of you enjoy looking through my photos. Although the site has no direct link currently, the gallery can still be accessed HERE.
