Feasting with Fillo

Last time I wrote about "having fun with fillo" a lot of you responded with great feedback.

This time I'd like to share further recipes and images I did for the wonderful people at Antoniou Fillo Pastry.

For an easy, quick meal you can't go past these chicken curry parcels.  They're filled with a mild chicken and coconut based curry and topped with flaked almonds.  Serve with pappadums and a tomato and mint salad and dinner is served.

If you're after something a little more "rib sticking" how about these braised lamb shank pies?  The fillo pastry creates a wonderful cover as it crisps up in the oven. Crack it open and serve it up with some blanched minted peas.  And don't forget the red wine!

And for something a little sweet you can't beat this very different version of cannoli. These kataifi cannoli cones are a little fiddly to make but worth every bite!  A golden, crunchy  shell filled with a lightly whipped ricotta cream.

I just love the versatility of fillo pastry!
