Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Gently cook the onion for about 10 mins, until soft. Add all the spices and the garlic, stir to combine, then cook for 1 min more. Throw in the lamb and break up with a wooden spoon so it gets coated in the onion and spices. Cook until brown.
  2. Add the vegetable stock and tomato purée, then simmer for 15-20 mins. Take off the heat, allow to cool, then chill in the fridge. When the mince is cold, take out 3 sheets of the pastry, brush with some of the melted butter and put them on top of each other on a flat board. Cut out 12cm x 8cm circles with a pastry cutter. Line a greased 12-hole tart tray with the filo to make little cases.
  3. Divide the lamb mixture between the 12 cases then cook for 15 mins, until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve warm with some natural yogurt and chopped coriander.

    These are excellent and were very popular in a party however you need to give us the temperature to cook them in the oven, I had to guess.

    Wow! Have made these twice now and at both parties these were devoured. I cooked them at 180 degrees which seemed about right. Flavours are fabulous and the topping of yoghurt and coriander just finishes the canapes off perfectly. These will definitely be cooked time and time again.
