Mushroom hazelnut filos



Snack of the month? Yes I think so. Oh dear these were good. I made them while we were away and they don't take long at all. I'd start with ricotta, but you can add anything you like, just make sure the flavours are balanced. Try spinach, leek, red onion, pine nuts, walnuts, parmesan, blue cheese...

Here's how I made mine: Preheat oven to 200C. Slice five medium mushrooms, 1 small brown onion, 2 cloves garlic and 1 stick celery, start with onion in a frypan of butter and oil, then add the rest. Cook until soft, but not 'cooked'. Mix in a bowl with a packet of fetta, handful of crushed hazelnuts, parsley, splash evo, pinch allspice and seasoning.

Cut thawed filo pastry into strips about 6cm wide, use two sheets together for each triangle. (Whatever filo you're not currently using, top with a damp tea towel otherwise it dries out and crumbles.) Brush sheets with melted butter, place spoonful of mixture on top corner, and fold in triangles all the way down. Brush with more melted butter to seal shape into place, put on baking tray. Bake all your yummy bites (about 20 in all) for 15 minutes until golden.
