Savory lamb-filled pastry pockets with a crispy exterior.

Ingredients:

18.20 gm olive oil
1 brown onion, halved, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
400g lamb mince
7.50 gm ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
Pinch of ground cloves
1 x 250g pkt frozen spinach, thawed
200g feta
12 sheets filo pastry
80g butter, melted
5.00 gm cumin or fennel seeds

Instructions:

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes until the onion softens. Add the lamb mince and cook for 3 minutes, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon until the lamb changes color. Stir in the cumin, coriander, and cloves for 30 seconds until fragrant. Transfer to a heatproof glass or ceramic bowl.
Using your hands, gently squeeze out any excess liquid from the spinach, then add it to the bowl with the mince mixture. Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl and mix until everything is well combined.
Lay the filo sheets on a clean surface and cut them in half lengthwise. Keep them covered with a damp tea towel to prevent them from drying out. Brush a sheet with melted butter, fold it into thirds lengthwise creating a 5cm strip. Place 2 teaspoonfuls of lamb mixture on one end of the strip. Fold into a triangle shape and place on a baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients to make a total of 24 triangles.
Preheat oven to 180C. Brush triangles with butter and sprinkle with aromatic cumin or fennel seeds. Bake for 15 minutes until triangles are warm and pastry turns golden brown. Remove from oven.
Arrange the triangles elegantly in a large serving bowl and serve promptly.
