Phyllo Stuffed With Lamb, Spinach And Feta Recipe

Name: Phyllo Stuffed With Lamb, Spinach And Feta
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 onion, diced (2 cups); 3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon); 1 pound ground lamb; 1 tablespoon ground coriander; 1 tablespoon ground cumin; 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice; 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 2 teaspoons kosher salt; 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; Zest of 1 lemon; 16 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed; 1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley; 4 eggs; 2 cups crumbled sheep's milk feta cheese; 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts; 1 pound phyllo dough (preferably The Fillo Factory brand), thawed overnight in the refrigerator; 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1

Heat the oil in a large saute pan set over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until completely soft and beginning to brown. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the lamb and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove from heat and drain off the excess fat. Stir in the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.

2

Place spinach in a colander squeeze over the sink to wring out all the excess liquid. Add spinach to the lamb mixture, along with the chopped parsley.

3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well blended. Stir in the lamb mixture until well combined. Fold in the crumbled feta (and toasted pine nuts, if using) until evenly distributed. Allow filling to cool completely before using. (Filling can be made several days ahead and refrigerated.)

4

Unroll the thawed phyllo onto a clean, dry surface. Cut the stack of sheets in half so you have two stacks that are 13-by-9 inches (skip this step if you're using a different brand that has smaller sheets). Cover the stacks of phyllo with a slightly damp tea towel to keep the sheets from drying out. Set a few parchment-lined baking sheets nearby.

5

Lay one sheet of phyllo in front of you with the short side closest to you. Brush the surface lightly with melted butter. Fold the sheet in half lengthwise, like you're closing a book, creating a narrow strip. Brush the surface with melted butter. Set a heaping tablespoon of filling near the bottom of the strip. Fold the bottom right corner diagonally up and over to the left, aligning the edges, to create a triangle.

6

Keep folding, as you would fold a flag, until you reach the end of the strip. Brush the edge with melted butter to seal it and place the triangle on the baking sheet. Brush the top with melted butter. Repeat with the remaining sheets of dough and filling, rewarming the butter as necessary. (If making ahead, freeze the triangles on baking sheets until firm, then pack in ziptop bags.)

7

To bake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake fresh phyllo triangles for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. To bake from frozen, bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
