Preparation Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Serving Size: 6-8

Ingredients:

- Filling:
- 400 g ground lamb
- 400 g finely chopped summer cabbage
- 3 spring onions
- 2 fresh cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 12 whole black peppercorns
- 1.5 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2.5 dl water
- 150 g soft goat cheese
- Oil for cooking
- 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
- For the Pie:
- 1 package phyllo pastry (approx. 12 sheets)
- 150 g melted butter
- 50 g feta cheese
- 0.5 tsp cumin seeds
- Chopped fresh mint for garnish

Instructions:

1. Spice Mix: In a mortar, combine cumin, fennel, coriander, black pepper, and sea salt. Grind to a fine spice mix.
2. Prepare the Filling: Heat a pan over medium heat and add oil. Sauté the spices briefly. Add the chopped spring onions and garlic, cooking for a moment. Add the ground lamb and brown it. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir well, and cook for a moment. Add water, mix, and bring to a boil for about 10 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook on low heat for another 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, then mix in the goat cheese.
3. Prepare the Phyllo: Take the phyllo pastry out to room temperature about 2 hours before use. Grease a shallow baking dish with butter. Lay out the phyllo sheets on a flat surface and brush each layer with melted butter.
4. Assemble the Pie: Take the top phyllo sheet, brush it with butter, and place the next sheet on top. Spread filling along the edges and roll the pastry into a log. Coil it into the center of the baking dish. Continue this process until the filling and pastry are used up.
5. Top the Pie: Brush the pie with melted butter, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and cumin seeds on top. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the top is beautifully golden brown.
6. Serve: Finally, sprinkle chopped mint over the pie and serve with a fresh salad.
