Method

Heat a large, lidded frying pan over a high heat and add the lamb. Fry for 8-10 mins until the lamb starts to brown. Lower the heat to medium, add the oil, onion, garlic, cumin, tomato purée and spring greens; season. Stir, cover and cook for 20 mins until the lamb is cooked. Stir in the oregano and most of the rosemary; remove from the heat.
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Place 1 sheet of pastry on a clean surface, brush with melted butter and top with another sheet of pastry. Repeat to use 4 sheets of pastry. Keep the remaining 4½ sheets of filo under a damp tea towel to stop them drying out.
Keeping the longer side of the pastry sheets facing you, lay half the lamb mix in a line along the middle of the top sheet of filo. Starting at the side nearest to you, roll the sheets away from you to make a long tube. Transfer to a lined baking tray, with the seam underneath, and shape into a semicircle.
Repeat with the other 4 sheets of filo and filling. Transfer to the baking tray. Halve the remaining pastry half and brush with butter. Use this to join the 2 tubes together to form a wreath. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden.
Mix the yogurt, most of the mint leaves and some seasoning in a bowl; top with mint leaves. Serve with the wreath.
