Minted lamb parcels

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
500 grams Waitrose Ground Farmhouse Lamb; (1lb 2oz)
5 millilitres Cinnamon; (1tsp)
2½ millilitre Each cayenne pepper and paprika; (1/2 tsp)
15 millilitres Mint; chopped (1tbsp)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
A few sheets of fillo pastry
25 grams Butter; melted (1oz)

Directions

Heat a frying pan until hot, add the lamb and fry without any oil for 1-2 minutes. Add the cinnamon, cayenne pepper, paprika, mint, salt and pepper.

Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes or until the juices run clear and there is no pink meat.

Cut the fillo pastry into rectangles approximately 18cm x 13cm (7Ó x 5Ó).

Place a little of the mixture along the long edge of the pastry, leaving a margin on either side. Roll it up like a cigar, tucking in the sides.

Brush each parcel with melted butter, place on a baking tray in a preheated oven at 220 1/4C, 425 1/4F, gas mark 7, for 15 minutes or until crisp and golden.

Serve while still warm with Waitrose Salsa Relish.

NOTES : Makes 18-20. Crisp lamb parcels flavoured with mint, cinnamon and sweet pepper, make perfect finger food for parties or for a light lunch.

They can be prepared an hour or so in advance and covered with cling film, then baked at the last minute. Serve warm with spicy Waitrose Salsa Relish.
