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

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.

  2. Blanch the asparagus in a saucepan of boiling water for 1 min. Drain thoroughly. Refresh under cold running water. Drain again.

  3. In a bowl, mix together the asparagus with the other filling ingredients. Set aside.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
