1

Preheat the oven to 170°C, gas mark 3. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

2

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the baby cauliflowers and blanch for 2 minutes until slightly tender. Immediately transfer to a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat dry. Using a small knife, carefully carve a small cavity in the base of each cauliflower

3

In a bowl, combine the lamb mince with the harissa seasoning. Season with salt and pepper and pack the mixture into the carved base of each cauliflower to create a thick lamb layer.

4

In a bowl, mash the feta with the olive oil, lemon zest and juice until creamy. Spread generously over the cauliflower.

5

Lay out three sheets of phyllo pastry, brushing each layer lightly with melted butter. Cut into approx. 30cm squares. Place a cauliflower in the centre of each square and fold the pastry up around it to form a parcel. Tie the top with kitchen twine. Brush the parcels with melted butter and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and crisp.

Serve the parcels warm with tzatziki.
