Time 1h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon diced garlic
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1 pound ground lamb
1 egg
2 teaspoons water
2 (10x15-inch) sheets of frozen puff pastry, thawed
½ cup tzatziki sauce

Steps:

  • Mix garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and allspice together in a bowl; add lamb. Form lamb mixture into 10-inch logs the thickness of hot dogs.
  • Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl to make egg wash.
  • Lay puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface; roll gently to smooth the creases. Slice pastry into 10x4-inch strips. Brush egg wash over pastry. Place 1 lamb log on each strip of pastry; wrap dough around lamb and pinch edges to seal. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove plastic wrap and slice each piece of pastry into 8 pieces with a sharp knife. Arrange in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Brush each piece with egg wash.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with tzatziki sauce.
