• Onion, finely chopped - 1 medium (about 100 grams)
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Cilantro, chopped - 30 grams
• Parsley, chopped - 30 grams
• Cinnamon powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Puff pastry sheets - 2 (about 250 grams total)
• Egg, beaten - 1 (for egg wash)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the ground lamb to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Stir in the chopped cilantro, parsley, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.
5. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut them into 4 equal squares.
6. Place a generous spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each pastry square.
7. Fold the pastry over the filling to create triangles or rectangles, sealing the edges with a fork.
8. Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
