These sweet and savory lamb wonton cones are arguably one of the most adorable appetizers I’ve come across in quite some time. It’s not just their impressive presentation, they also boast an explosion of flavors to tickle your palate!

Contains: Soy, Sesame, Gluten, Wheat

Directions

Prepare the Lamb Wontons Cones

  1. In a medium bowl, place the ground lamb,

    soy sauce, ginger, salt, and black pepper.

    Break up the meat with a fork and mix well

    to combine.

  2. Place the mushrooms, three scallions, and

    garlic into the bowl of a food processor

    while the machine is running, and process

    until finely minced. Add to the lamb

    mixture along with the sweet chili sauce,

    and mix well to incorporate.

  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

  4. Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper.

  5. To assemble the wonton cones: Place an

    egg roll wrapper on a piece of parchment

    paper. Using a six-inch (15-centimeter) plastic soup bowl as a guide, trim the edges of the wrapper with a sharp knife, creating

    a six-inch (15-centimeter) circle of dough. Cut a three-inch (eight-centimeter) slit in the dough halfway down the center.

  6. Dip a pastry brush into water and wet

    the edges of the egg roll wrapper, as well

    as the two sides of the slit. Place a mound

    of filling onto a spoon (I used a dessert-

    sized spoon) and place it on one side of

    the slit, shaping it gently with your fingers

    to form a triangular shape — the tip of

    the triangle would be at the middle of the

    wrapper, with the base at its edge. Starting

    at the slit, begin rolling the wrapper over

    the filling, and continue rolling in a circular motion until the wonton forms a cone shape. You may need to add a bit more water at the edge of the wrapper to make it stick to the other end.

  7. Turn the cone upside down, and push

    the filling down gently into the cone with

    your fingers or a small spoon. Pinch the

    edges of the wrapper down over the

    filling at the bottom of the cone to form

    the base — there will still be a hole in the

    center, and the filling will not be fully

    covered. Stand the cone upright onto the

    baking sheet and repeat with remaining

    wrappers to form 18 wonton cones.

  8. Spray wontons generously with cooking

    spray and bake on the lower rack of the

    oven for 12–14 minutes.

Prepare the Glaze

  1. While the wontons are baking, combine

    sauce ingredients in a small pot and heat

    just until simmering.

  2. To serve, top wontons with chili sauce and garnish with black sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve immediately.
