I used up some leftover roasted lamb as a filling (with goat cheese) for some baked wontons, and whipped up a mint-cucumber yogurt sauce for dipping. The lamb filling is already fully cooked and would also make a great faux pate' or spread. Read more The yogurt mixture can be prepared a day ahead. Cooked ground lamb will also work for the filling.

How to make it
- For sauce:
- Combine cucumber, mint, lemon juice, garlic, yogurt, salt, pepper and cumin. (This can be made a day ahead) See Photo
- Heat oil in small pan and saute shallots and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add rosemary and heat 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Place lamb in food processor and pulse several times until finely minced. Add shallot/garlic mixture, oregano, salt and pepper and pulse until almost smooth. You can add a few drops of olive oil, but mixture should be somewhat dry. Add goat cheese and pulse a few more times to incorporate throughout.
- For Wontons:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cover baking sheet with parchment or foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Keep wontons between layers of damp paper towels - remove one at a time and place a rounded teaspoonful of lamb mixture in center of wonton; moisten two edges with water and fold other edges over filling to form a triangle See Photo. Press edges together to seal, carefully pushing out any air pockets near filling. Place on baking sheet.
- Repeat process until done. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake for ten minutes or until edges start to turn golden brown.
- Serve while warm with yogurt sauce.
