Curry Phyllo Triangles
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
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
