Yield
1-1/2 dozen (2 cups sauce)
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1-1/2 pounds ground lamb
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 logs (4 ounces each) fresh goat cheese, cut into 18 slices
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- SAUCE:
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 jar (24 ounces) roasted sweet red peppers, drained
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Dash crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine onion, cumin and paprika. Crumble lamb over mixture and mix well. Shape into eighteen 1/2-in.-thick mini patties. In a large skillet, cook patties in oil in batches over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear, 3-4 minutes on each side.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Roll each sheet into a 12x12-in. square. Cut each into 9 squares. Place a patty in the center of each square; top with cheese. Lightly brush egg over edges of pastry. Bring opposite corners of pastry over patty; pinch seams to seal tightly.
- Place seam side up on a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; brush with egg. Bake until pastry is golden brown, 18-22 minutes.
- Place sauce ingredients in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Serve with pastry bundles.
