  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 50g feta cheese
  • 100g SUNSWEET prunes, roughly chopped

3. Add the onion, spices, mint, prunes and cook for 2 minutes.

4. Place in a bowl and leave to cool.

Once cool, add the feta and mix well.

Filo:
1. Cut each filo sheet into four 15cmx10cm rectangles.

2. Pile them on top of each other and cover with a damp cloth.

3. Take one sheet and brush liberally with melted butter.

4. Spoon a good helping on to one end of the strip and roll up like a spring roll.

5. Turn the sides in to secure the filling.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining 15 strips.

7. Place on a greased baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, until crisp and golden.

Great party food, pastries best served hot.
