Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add ground lamb, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains, 5 minutes. Stir in warm spices and lemon juice.
Step 3
Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, tossing constantly, until light golden, 2 minutes. Add to lamb mix.
Step 4
Brush a sheet pan with oil. Crumple phyllo sheets loosely over the pan to form a rough base layer.
Step 5
Spread lamb mixture evenly over phyllo. Crumple remaining phyllo over top. Drizzle generously with remaining oil.
Step 6
Bake at 400°F until phyllo is deep golden brown and crispy, 8–10 minutes. Serve hot.
