Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
-
8 ounces ground lamb
-
1 medium potato, peeled and chopped (1 cup)
-
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
-
2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
-
1-1/2 cups chopped tomato
-
1/2 cup snipped parsley
-
1/4 cup olive oil or cooking oil
-
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
-
10 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed (18x14 inches)
-
Sliced green onion (optional)
-
1 teaspoon curry powder
Directions
1.
In a large nonstick skillet heat the 1 tablespoon oil. Add lamb, potato, and onion; cook until lamb is no longer pink. Drain off fat. Stir in 2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomato; reduce heat and cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in snipped parsley; set aside.
2.
Combine 1/4 cup oil, 1 teaspoon curry powder, and 1/4 teaspoon thyme. Brush one sheet of phyllo with some of the oil mixture; place a second sheet on top. Lightly press sheets together; cut lengthwise into 5 strips, 3-1/4 inches wide each. Cover remaining phyllo with a damp towel to prevent drying.
3.
Spoon a rounded tablespoon of the lamb mixture 1 inch from the end of each strip. Fold each strip into a triangle by bringing a corner over the filling to line up with the other side of strip. Continue folding along the strip as you would fold a flag. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
4.
Arrange triangles on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with oil mixture. Bake in a 375 degree F oven about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Garnish with green onion, if desired. Makes 25.
Make-Ahead Tip
Up to 2 weeks ahead, prepare triangles as directed, except do not bake. Store in a single layer in a freezer container; freeze. To serve, bake triangles as directed.

Spinach Phyllo Triangles
This succulent take on the classic Greek snack gets its rich flavor from feta cheese and spinach. Phyllo dough dries very quickly so keep sheets covered until needed.
