Lamb, Sweet Chilli, Mint and feta parcels

This was a bit of an experiment which turned out pretty well so i thought id share the recipe, i’ve not got any pics as i was so hungry i forgot to take some.

You might think the sweet chilli/mint combo is a bit crazy but its honestly really tasty, you could always use left over lamb too or even make little mini pasties with the mixture for parties etc.

I served it with roasties with rosemary and thyme and some veg.

All of the measurements are approximate as i made it up as i went along.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 3 Lamb leg steaks
• Big handfull of fresh peas (can use frozen too)
• 1 heaped teaspoon oregano
• 1 heaped teaspoon thyme
• 2 teaspoons of mint sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
• 3 teaspoons of sweet chilli sauce
• 100g of feta cheese (cut into small cubes or crumbled up)
• 1 red onion (finely sliced)
• salt and pepper
• melted butter
• 6 sheets of filo pastry

Method

1. Pre heat oven to 200 degrees
2. Trim the thick fat off the lamb and then cut the lamb into chunks
3. Place lamb in a bowl with the mint sauce, herbs and chilli sauce
4. Fry the onions in a little butter until soft, then set a side
5. Fry the lamb mix for a few minutes until browned, add the onions and remove from the heat, add the peas and feta then season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. to create the parcels you need to layer 3 sheets of filo together for each parcel, brushing each layer with some melted butter.
7. place half the lamb mix in the centre of each filo stack and then carefully roll or fold it up before brushing each parcel with melted butter
8. Cook in the oven until golden and crispy (about 15-20 minutes)
9. Serve with your choice of veg!
