Spiced Lamb and Butternut Squash Bourekas
  1. Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté onion until translucent. Add spices to pan and cook until toasted, around 1 minute. Add ground lamb and cook until no longer pink, breaking up into small pieces with a wooden spoon as you cook. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  2. Combine butternut squash and lamb mixture in a medium bowl.

  3. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  4. Roll out each sheet of puff pastry. Cut each sheet into nine even squares. Using a rolling pin, roll out each square slightly.

  5. Scoop 1 heaping Tbsp into the corner of each square. Fold puff pastry over filling, forming a triangle. Using the tines of a fork, crimp the edges.

  6. Repeat with second sheet of puff pastry.

  7. Brush each boureka with beaten egg. Top with sesame seeds, nigella seeds or poppy seeds if desired.

  8. Bake 18-22 minutes, until golden on top.
