1
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add lamb to pan; cook 4 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain lamb, if necessary; transfer to a cutting board. Finely chop lamb. Wipe pan with a paper towel, and heat over medium-high heat. Add lamb, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Place 1 phyllo sheet on a large cutting board or work surface (cover remaining phyllo to keep from drying); coat phyllo with cooking spray. Arrange another phyllo sheet over coated phyllo sheet; coat with cooking spray. Cut phyllo stack lengthwise into 3 (3-inch-wide) strips. Spoon about 1 scant tablespoon lamb mixture onto 1 end of each strip. Fold 1 corner of phyllo dough over mixture, forming a triangle; continue folding firmly back and forth into a triangle to end of strip. Repeat folding procedure with remaining two strips. Place triangles, seam sides down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; cover to prevent drying. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo, cooking spray, and lamb mixture. Lightly brush triangles with canola oil. Bake at 400u00b0 for 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve pastries warm or at room temperature.
