3 cups cubed cooked lamb
1 lemon, juiced

  • Pour on olive oil and beef broth. Sprinkle with oregano and pepper. Finally, add beaten egg.
  • Top with remaining 12 phyllo sheets brushed lightly with melted butter.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). during the last 10 minutes, raise the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Cut into diamonds or squares and serve warm.
