Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the onion in 1 tbsp oil over medium heat for 5 minutes until soft, then add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up, for 8 minutes until browned and any liquid evaporates.

  2. 2

    Stir in the cinnamon, cumin, ginger, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper, cook 2 minutes more, then remove from heat and fold in the herbs and 1 beaten egg, stirring until the egg sets into the warm filling.

  3. 3

    Lay a phyllo strip on a work surface, place 1 tbsp filling at one end, and fold flag-style into a tight triangle, brushing the final edge with beaten egg to seal.

  4. 4

    Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350°F and fry the triangles in batches for 2 minutes per side until golden and blistered.

  5. 5

    Drain on a rack and serve warm with lemon wedges and harissa for dipping.
