Steps

  • Melt butter and sliced garlic in a saucepan and skim froth from the surface.
  • Pour the clear yellow fat into a jug and discard the milky residue.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Roast lamb mince in a tray for 20 minutes until browned.
  • Reduce stock with star anise and cumin in a pan until a 50ml glaze forms.
  • Fry onion, chilli, and garlic in oil until softened.
  • Grease tart rings and cut filo into ten squares.
  • Brush four filo sheets with garlic butter and stack them at different angles.
  • Press the filo stack into a ring, line with parchment, and fill with baking beans.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until the base is cooked.
  • Cool the pastry shells with the weights still inside.
  • Dice cucumber into cubes and season with salt to extract moisture.
  • Combine lamb, glaze, onion mixture, mint, coriander, and cucumber.
  • Fill pastry shells with the lamb mixture, top with scrunched filo, and bake for 5 minutes.
  • Mix yoghurt, ras-el-hanout, oil, mint, garlic, and lemon juice for the dressing.
  • Serve the tarts with the yoghurt dressing.
