Green pea phyllo purses

24 purses

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3¾ cup Frozen petit peas, defrosted
1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
2 eaches Jalapeno peppers, seeded & minced
1 tablespoon Grated ginger
½ tablespoon Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Honey
1 tablespoon Cilantro, minced
1 tablespoon Mint, minced
10 eaches Phyllo sheets
Olive oil spray

Directions

Place peas between several layers of kitchen towels to absorb excess liquid. Place in a food processor & pulse until reduced to a coarse pulp. Combine with oil, peppers, ginger, lemon juice & honey in a large skillet. Saute over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the herbs. Let cool & divide into 24 portions.

Preheat oven to 350F. Cut phyllo sheets in half lengthwise & fourths crosswise, forming 80 4" X 6" squares. Cover phyllo with slightly damp towel. Lay one square on a sheet of waxed paper. Spray it with olive oil. Repaet with 2 more squares. Place a portion of the filling in the centre. Bring up the opposite corners of the phyllo, crimp firmly & twist the ends to form purses, each with a pointed top. Repeat with remaining phyllo.

Spray baking sheets with oil. Transfer pastries to sheet & bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter & serve at once.
