INGREDIENTS

9 sheets of filo pastry

250g butter

1 tbsp olive oil

400g mushrooms, sliced

1 brown onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

2 packets of Meredith Dairy Fresh Dill Chevre

1 tsp dijon mustard

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Method
  1. Heat 50g of the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the mushrooms, thyme and rosemary to the pan and cook stirring for 4-5 minutes or until mushrooms are soft and caramelised. 
  3. Add garlic to the pan and cook for a further minute. Remove mushroom mix to a large mixing bowl. 
  4. To the mushroom mix, crumble in both packets of the Dill Chevre, dijon mustard, parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well with a spoon until combined. Allow the mix to cool before making parcels.
  5. To make the parcels, first melt the remaining 200g of butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan. Once melted, set aside.
  6. Slice the filo sheets in half, place one sheet on a clean bench and paint on melted butter with a pastry brush. Place another piece on top, butter again and add one final piece of pastry to make 3 layers. Brush the last piece with butter.
  7. Add 2 tbsp of the mushroom mix to one corner of the pastry. Fold over into a triangle shape and keep folding in a triangle pattern along the pastry to make a triangle parcel.
  8. Brush top of parcel with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  9. Place onto a lined baking tray.
  10. Repeat with the rest of the mix to make 6 parcels
  11. Cook in a 200°C  oven for 10-15 minutes or until the pastry is crispy and golden.
