1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup ouzo (Greek-style anise liqueur)

  • Use a Sharp Knife: When cutting the triangles, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts.
  • Don't Overfill the Triangles: When filling the triangles, don't overfill them, or they will be difficult to seal and may burst during baking.
