     Title: St. Basil Meat Pie
Categories: Lamb/mutton, Herbs, Pastry, Vegetables, Rice
     Yield: 6 Servings

 1 1/2 tb Butter
   1/4 c  Onion, finely chopped
     1 ts Minced garlic
   3/4 lb Lamb mince
   1/2 ts Salt
     1 ts Dried oregano
          Pepper
   1/4 c  Fresh parsley; minced
   1/4 c  Cooked rice
     3 lg Eggs
     8 oz Pkg phyllo dough; thawed
          - according to pkg guide
   1/2 c  Butter; melted

 In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the
 onions until transparent. Add the ground meat and stir to
 break up any large chunks. Season with garlic, salt,
 oregano and pepper. Drain off any grease.

 Mix in the parsley, rice and eggs until well blended. Set
 aside.

 Cut the phyllo dough sheets to fit a 9" x 13" rectangle or
 10" × 10" square baking pan. Brush the bottom of the pan
 with melted butter. Lay a sheet of the phyllo dough on the
 bottom, brush with melted butter, add another sheet, brush
 with butter again and repeat until half of the sheets
 (about 10) are layered on top of each other. Spread the
 meat mixture evenly on this layer. Place a clean coin on
 top of the meat (optional).

 Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on top of the meat mixture,
 brush with melted butter, add another sheet, brush with
 butter again and repeat until all sheets of phyllo dough
 are used. Use a sharp knife to score down the meat pie for
 easier cutting after it is baked. Bake in a 375°F/190°C
 oven for 35-45 minutes or until golden. Remove from the
 oven. Slice the pie using the score marks as guides. Serve
 immediately.

 NOTES: To stretch out the filling in the meat pie, feel
 free to substitute diced potatoes for the rice as an
 ingredient in lakror.

 Heat any leftovers in the oven instead of in the microwave
 to retain the crispness of the meat pie.

 If there is a coin hidden in the meat pie, let others know
 about the symbolism *!and safety!* BEFORE they eat their
 slice.
