Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the ground lamb and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Add the zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
Cover the pan and cook for 20 minutes.
Stir in the oregano and coriander, cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove pan from heat. Mixture should be relatively dry. Drain remaining liquid.
Stir in the grated cheese, and set aside.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan and begin layering 6 layers of filo dough, buttering each layer as you go.
Spread the filling over the filo dough, and top with remaining filo dough, again buttering between each layer.
Score the top few layers of filo dough into 9 squares. You don't need to cut all the way through to the bottom.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
