Vegetable filled filo tarts
Background
When you have parties itβs always sensible to cater for vegans, vegetarians and those with food intolerance. These vegetable filled filo tarts are perfect for vegans and those with dairy issues, if you use plant-based batter for the greasing. If dairy is not an issue, you can serve them with some crumble feta or grated Parmesan on top.
Ingredients
- 6 sheets filo pastry
- 30g butter or dairy-free spread, melted
- 1 courgette
- 1 aubergine
- 2 mushrooms
- 1 Tbsp red or yellow bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- Olive oil
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- First make the filo tarts. Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Melt the butter or margarine and let it cool.
- Lightly grease the holes of a muffin tin. Alternatively put 12 silicone muffin cases onto a baking sheet β no need to oil them.
- Put 3 filo sheets on top of each other and cut out approx. 10 x10 cm squares. Put them on a plate and cover with a dump kitchen towel.
- Lay a filo square on a chopping board, brush it with the melted butter, then add another square on top, slightly turned. Brush this with butter too, then put another square on top, again angled.
- Put this shape into one of the muffin tin holes or silicon cases, slightly pushing down with your fingers.
- Repeat with the rest of the filo squares. You should get 12 filo cases.
- Bake for about 8 minutes or until golden all over. Let them cool in the tin for a couple of minutes, then carefully remove them to a platter. Let them cool.
- Meanwhile, cut the vegetables into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan, sautΓ© the onion for 5 minutes, then add the garlic, chopped vegetables and oregano.
- Stir for a couple of minutes, then add the vinegar, salt and pepper, some chilli flakes if liked.
- Put a lid on and sautΓ© for approx. 8 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Let them cool a bit, then stir in the chopped parsley.
- Fill the filo cases with the sautΓ©ed vegetables just before serving.
- You can serve these filo tarts warm or at room temperature.
