Turkish Lamb Phyllo Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tbsp olive oil
    1 None onion, finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    2 tsp ground allspice
    2 tsp ground coriander
    1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    1 tsp ground cumin
    9 oz lean ground lamb
    1 tbsp lemon juice
    6 sheets phyllo dough
    6 tbsp (3/4 stick) butter, melted
    1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt
    1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
Preparation
    Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring, until the onion softens. Add the spices; cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add the ground lamb; cook, stirring until lightly browned. Stir in the lemon juice; cool.
    Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F. Oil a baking pan and line with parchment paper.
    Brush 1 sheet of phyllo with butter and top with two more sheets, brushing each with butter. Cut the layered sheets into 8 rectangles. Press 1 tbsp of lamb mixture into a log shape along one long end of each rectangle. Roll the phyllo over the filling; fold in the sides then roll up to form a log. Repeat to make a total of 16 logs.
    Place logs, about 1 1/2 inches apart, on prepared pan. Brush with the remaining butter. Bake for 15 mins or until lightly browned.
    For the mint yogurt, combine yogurt and mint in a small bowl. Serve the warm phyllo rolls with mint yogurt.
