Ingredients

  • 20 to 30 Mini Phyllo Shells (about 2 packages), room temperature
  • 1 lb American Lamb Leg Roast, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp White wine
  • 2 cups Finely chopped mushrooms
  • 1 large Shallot, minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • Fresh chopped chives, for garnish

Instructions 

  • Remove the phyllo shells from the freezer and place them on the kitchen counter. Allow them to come to room temperature.
  • Next, preheat a large non-stick skillet to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, lamb leg roast cubes, kosher salt and pepper. Sear the cubes, about 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the cubes from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate to rest for at least 3 minutes.
  • In the same skillet as the lamb, add the white wine and deglaze the skillet over medium-high heat. You want to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom! Next, melt the butter and add in the mushrooms and cook until softened, about four to 5 minutes. Next, add in the shallots, garlic, rosemary, kosher salt and pepper. Stir and keep cooking for about 5 more minutes.
  • Next, add in the flour and cream.Stir to combine and cook for about a minute. Add in the reserved lamb cubes and heat through. Remove skillet from heat.
  • To serve, place mini phyllo shells on a serving platter. Spoon the lamb Wellington mixture into each phyllo shell and garnish with chives. Serve and enjoy!
