Combine lamb, egg, green onion, parsley, garlic, cumin pepper and salt. Divide and shape into three 3x4x½" thick patties.

Melt remaining 3 T. butter and sauté mushrooms. Add pine nuts and remaining ingredients except phyllo and ¼ cup melted butter.

Place one sheet of phyllo dough on work surface. Brush with melted butter and top with a second sheet.

Working lengthwise with dough, place a lamb pattie ¼ of the way down from the top edge, top with 1/3 of the spinach mixture. Fold top edge of pastry over filling; brush with butter. Fold sides inward and roll up, brushing final fold with butter.

Repeat with remaining patties. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, brushing tops with butter. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 20 minutes. Remove, cut diagonally and serve.
