Filo parcels with goat's cheese and asparagus tips
A very elegant lunch or starter that is easy to make.
What you need
- 8 sheets 18 cm square filo pastry, thawed if frozen
- 40 g butter, melted
- For the filling
- 50 g extra fine asparagus
- 50 g goat's cheese, crumbled
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
- 7 g flaked almonds, toasted
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- seasoning
- 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
Method
Preheat oven to 190°C.
Blanch the asparagus in a saucepan of boiling water for 1 min. Drain thoroughly. Refresh under cold running water. Drain again.
In a bowl, mix together the asparagus with the other filling ingredients. Set aside.
Lay 4 of the squares of pastry on top of each other, brushing each with the melted butter and laying each at slightly alternate angles. Repeat with the other 4 squares of pastry. Divide the filling between the centre of each of the 2 piles of pastry sheets. Carefully gather up the pastry around the filling, twisting together at the top to secure.
Arrange the parcels on a lightly greased baking tray. Brush with any leftover butter. Cook in the oven for 10-15 min or until crisp and golden. Serve immediately.
Serving suggestion
A little salad.
Cook's tip
