CHEESE FILLED TRIANGLES
The only tricky part of this recipe is working with phyllo, and once you get the hang of it, it's fun. Sometimes you get a bad batch of phyllo that rips and tears easily, so I always buy an extra just in case. I have frozen these before baking. Just add a few minutes to cooking time when you cook them in a frozen state. I have also doubled this recipe for large parties.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slowly cook and stir onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in spinach and salt. Stir in feta cheese, cottage cheese and egg. Cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Unroll phyllo dough sheets one at a time on a flat surface. Brush with unsalted butter. Cut into strips approximately 5 inches wide. Place 1 tablespoon of the onion, spinach and feta mixture at one end of each dough strip. Fold the end of the strip over the filling so that it forms a triangle. Continue folding the strip in triangles until a small, triangular stuffed pastry remains. Brush with unsalted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough.
- Arrange stuffed triangles on a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.

POTATO SAMOSA PHYLLO TRIANGLES
Get the irresistible flavor of samosas without all the frying. Phyllo (left over from Roasted Winter Vegetable Baklava ) makes an ingenious wrapper for our take on the popular Indian snacks, although the filling of garam-masala-spiced potatoes and peas is quite traditional. They bake up light and crisp, ready for a dip in chutney or raita. Serve these samosas with a salad for a vegetarian main course, or make smaller ones as appetizers.

Steps:
- 1. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, preferably nonstick, skillet and cook the onions until soft and lightly golden, or 10 to 12 minutes. Stir as you cook them. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- 2. Combine the cheeses, yogurt, remaining olive oil, cooked onions, and dill. Beat the eggs lightly and add to the mixture, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3. Have the phyllo ready. Place the sheets in front of you and, using a sharp knife, cut lengthwise into 4 equal columns. Stack them, and keep the stack covered with a dry kitchen towel and then over that a damn kitchen towel. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly oil 2 baking sheets.
- 4. Remove 1 strip of phyllo, brush it lightly with olive oil, and place another strip on top. Brush that with oil, too. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the lower right-hand corner of the phyllo, about 1/2 inch from the edge. Fold up the right corner to form a right triangle, and continue folding, the way one folds a flag. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Continue until the phyllo and filling are used up. Bake in the center of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Wrap ricotta tightly in fine cheesecloth; place in a colander over a bowl. Place a heavy bowl or cans on top; let drain, refrigerated, for 3 hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place almonds on a baking pan; toast until fragrant, about 6 minutes. Transfer from oven to cool, then break almonds into small pieces; set aside. Place raisins in a bowl, cover with 1/4 cup warm water, and set aside.
- Heat a large saute pan coated with olive-oil cooking spray over medium heat. Add garlic and onion; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until tender and juices are released, about 3 minutes more. Add raisins, soaking liquid, salt, cinnamon, cayenne, and cumin; cook until the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in balsamic vinegar, and transfer to a medium bowl to cool. When fully cool, about 25 minutes, stir in chopped parsley.
- Place phyllo on a dry work surface; cover with a slightly damp towel. Coat one phyllo sheet with cooking spray. Cover with a second sheet; coat with cooking spray. Place a third sheet on top; cut stack into four 4-by-12-inch strips. Place 1 tablespoon ricotta on bottom of each stack; spread into the left corner to form a small triangle. Top with 2 tablespoons mushroom mixture. Fold phyllo by bringing bottom left corner over to meet right edge of pastry. Fold triangle along strip to fully enclose filling. Place on a parchment-lined baking pan. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling. Coat triangles with cooking spray; sprinkle with reserved nuts. Bake until golden, about 40 minutes, rotating halfway through cooking. Serve.
Tips:
- Use room temperature butter for the filling, as it will be easier to mix and spread.
- If you don't have phyllo dough, you can use puff pastry instead.
- To make the triangles easier to fold, cut the phyllo dough into 4-5 inch squares.
- Be careful not to overfill the triangles, or they will be difficult to fold and seal.
- Bake the triangles until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the triangles warm or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
