SPINACH AND FETA PHYLLO PARCELS
Once spinach is boiled, fry some onions and a bit of garlic, once that is golden brown add the boiled spinach add salt and pepper to your taste.
Add some cream, I normally use about 150 ml cream then bring to a slow shimmer and add your feta (Danish feta works best- 150ml)
Take your phyllo pastry and cut into about 10cm squares, put 2 x teaspoons of filling in the middle and fold the corners to the top and twist the edges together.
Pre heat oven then bake for 15 min till golden brown. U can also smear some beaten egg over the pastry to give it that golden brown effect.
Butternut and cinnamon phyllo parcels – steam butternut and while it is steaming, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over. I usually put some honey as well, that gives is that sticky texture for those who like that – do not over cook the butternut because you still want it to be firm not the mashed butternut. Then add it to your phyllo parcels as explained above.
