- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic
- 1.2kg/2lb 7oz wild mushrooms
- 3 tbsp coarsely chopped parsley
- 1 small chilli
- 8 rectangles ready-made filo pastry
- small bunch fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C/450F/Gas 8.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the garlic and mushrooms and fry over a high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until just cooked. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle over the parsley. Set aside to cool.
- Brush one side of each sheet of filo pastry all over with a little olive oil.
- Place one sheet of filo pastry on top of another to create two layers of pastry, then spoon a quarter of the mushroom mixture into the centre of the pastry.
- Gather up the corners of the pastry to create a parcel and secure with a couple of chives. Brush all over with olive oil and place onto a baking tray.
- Repeat the process with the remaining filo pastry and mushroom mixture.
- Bake the parcels for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked through and golden-brown.
