Directions
- *Note: Lamb steaks should be about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick.
- Serves: 6
- Oven temperature: 200 C (400 F)
- Cooking Time: 25-30 min
- Trim steaks of most of the fat and shape neatly - trimmings can be used in a grnd lamb dish. Season with pepper.
- Heat butter or possibly oil in a frying pan and brown steaks quickly on each side - don't cook through. Lift out onto a dish and leave till cold. Add in onions to pan and fry gently till transparent, add in garlic and remove from heat.
- Brush a sheet of fillo pastry with melted butter and place another sheet on top, brushing again with butter. Mix in half to make almost a square of fillo. Put aside and cover wtih a dry tea towel, then one dampened with hot water. Repeat with remaining fillo to give 6 prepared squares. Take one square and brush top with butter - leave remaining pastry covered.
- Place a lamb steak in the centre and season lightly with salt. Top with onion-garlic mix and cover with 2 slices of tomato. Sprinkle with a little rigani, salt and pepper and place a slice of feta cheese on top.
- Bring up ends of fillo pastry and double-fold over top. Mix in ends as you would a package then tuck ends underneath. This is known as a the chemist's
- (druggist's) fold. Place on a buttered baking tray. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Brush tops and sides of pkgs. lightly with melted butter and bake in a preheated warm oven for 15 min. Serve immediately if possible, though they will survive in the oven with heat turned off for about 10 min.
- Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve with boiled green beans or possibly zucchini dressed with olive and lemon juice.
- Note: Medallions of lamb cut from a trimmed loin can be used instead of the steaks. You will require 12, and place 2 in each package.
