Prep Time: 15 mins

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Serves: 12 people

Ingredients

  • 350g prepared lamb keema
  • 2 tablespoons hot vegetable stock or water
  • ½ x 200g pack prepared filo pastry sheets, thawed if frozen
  • 50g butter, melted
  • Fresh rocket leaves, to garnish
  • Mango chutney, to garnish
  • Fresh coriander or mint leaves, to garnish

Method

  1. Put the keema in a large bowl with the stock or water and mix gently until the mixture loosens slightly. Preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C Fan, Gas Mark 6.
  2. To prepare the filo pastry, brush the filo sheets with the melted butter and with a sharp knife cut into 6 x 6cm squares. Group together three buttered filo squares placing each one at a slightly different angle. Gently press down into two x 12 hole mini-muffin tins.
  3. Place a heaped teaspoonful of the keema in each case. Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.
  4. Remove from the oven and gently transfer the canapés to a metal cooling rack and set aside.
  5. Place on a serving platter dressed with rocket leaves; garnish each with a small spoonful the mango chutney and fresh coriander or mint leaves before serving.
