Servings: persons

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup onion, diced small
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground lamb or beef
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
1/2 cup blood orange juice
1/2 cup blood orange segments, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh mint, minced
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
1 box frozen phyllo dough sheets
2 tablespoons butter, melted

1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook about 2 minutes.
2
Add the lamb and cook until done. If the meat is fatty, drain the fat off.
3
Add the oregano, salt, pepper and orange juice. Simmer about 5 minutes or until the juice is reduced, almost gone. Set aside.
4
Once the meat mixture is cooled slightly, add the orange segments, fresh mint and crumbled feta.
5
Lightly butter a cookie sheet. Spread out one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it with butter. Spread out a second sheet of phyllo dough and brush it with butter too. Cut the sheet in half lenghwise.
6
Put a heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture on one corner on the end of the phyllo strip. Fold like a flag and when you get to the end, brush it with butter to make it stick.
7
Repeat the process with the remaining filling and phyllo sheets.
8
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.
9
I haven't tried rolling them and freezing them yet, but I bet it would work too.
