Method
  1. Toast and grind whole spices.

  2. Make a coleslaw, I used the food processor then clean it out
  3. Process mint, lamb, garlic, 1 carrot (2 others were for the slaw) until finely minced.
  4. Roll into logs and place onto pastry, I cut each sheet in half so I ended up with 6. Roll up pastry and brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  5. Bake in oven for 15-20 @ 200c
  6. Serve with slaw and an assortment of dips.

Time to prepare: A suprising 50 minutes
Family Contentedness: 2 year consumed everything in sight and was spotted removing the pastry from the meat so he could get at just that, 4 year old consumed with a minimum of whining, albeit slathered with tomato sauce, with a little wheedling he ate the slaw too. Wife came looking for more.
Inspiration: Lifted lock stock and barrel from the pages of the sept 2008 delicious magazine.
