POTATO SAMOSA PHYLLO TRIANGLES



Potato Samosa Phyllo Triangles image

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.

2 cups crumbled feta cheese (about 12 oz.)
3/4 cup roughly chopped of fresh mint
1/2 cup roughly chopped sun-dried tomato (oil-packed and drained)
1/2 cup pitted and roughly chopped kalamata olive
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (1 lb) package phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions (preferably a twin-pack)

  • Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F In a large bowl, combine the spinach, feta, mint, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, eggs, garlic, lemon juice and zest, pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  • Unroll the phyllo and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. Cover completely with plastic wrap. Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time, and keeping the rest covered with the plastic wrap to keep it from drying out, place a sheet vertically in front of you. Brush the phyllo with butter and cover with another sheet. Butter the top sheet and cut the phyllo lengthwise into equal 3-inch-wide strips. Spoon 2 teaspoons of filling on the lower end of each strip as shown in the left photo below. Fold up the phyllo strips as you would a flag to create a neat triangle, being careful not to roll too tightly or the triangles will crack when baked. Transfer to a baking sheet and cover with plastic. Repeat with the rest of the phyllo and filling until you run out of filling.
  • Butter two sheet pans. Arrange the phyllo triangles on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Brush the tops of the triangles with melted butter and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, switching the positions of the pans halfway through baking.
  • Make Ahead Tips. Assembled, unbaked phyllo triangles can be frozen for up to a month. Freeze the triangles on the baking sheet. When frozen, transfer them to an airtight container, setting parchment or plastic wrap between layers if needed, and return to the freezer. Bake as directed above (do not thaw the triangles first); baking time will be 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right filo dough: Look for filo dough that is thin and pliable. If the dough is too thick, it will be difficult to work with and may tear. Fresh filo dough is best, but you can also use frozen filo dough that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Keep the filo dough covered: Filo dough dries out quickly, so keep it covered with a damp towel or plastic wrap at all times. This will prevent the dough from becoming brittle and cracking.
  • Work quickly: Filo dough is delicate, so work quickly to assemble the triangles. If you take too long, the dough may start to tear.
  • Brush the filo dough with butter: This will help the dough to brown and crisp in the oven. You can also brush the dough with olive oil or melted butter.
  • Bake the triangles until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the dough is cooked through and the filling is heated. The baking time will vary depending on the type of filling you are using.

Conclusion:

Filo triangles are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of ingredients. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect filo triangles that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give filo triangles a try.
