Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 200 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Phyllo pastry sheets - 4 sheets
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic, ground lamb, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook until the lamb is browned, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Stir in the honey and chopped parsley, mixing well. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
5. On a clean surface, lay one sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and repeat the process until you have two layers.
6. Place a portion of the lamb filling on one end of the phyllo pastry and roll it tightly into a cylinder shape, sealing the edges with a little olive oil.
7. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling, then place all rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Brush the tops with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces and serving.
