Ham and cheese filo samosas
Samosas are fantastically easy to make, as well as adaptable. These are filled with cooked rice, Princes diced ham, leftover roast chicken and some sweetcorn. These are great to serve at a party, and ideal for older children to help fold.
Servings: 30 samosas
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 50 g finely grated cheese
- 1 can Princes chopped ham - drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup roast chicken
- 1/2 cup sweetcorn kernels
- 1 packet filo pastry
- 50 g butter - melted
Instructions
- Mix the rice, cheese, ham, chicken and sweetcorn together in a bowl.
- Open the packet of filo pastry and cut into strips about 6cm wide and about 24cm long (the short edge of most ready-made brands is about the right length). Cover the pastry that you are not working with a slightly damp tea towel to keep it from drying out and cracking.
- Take one strip of filo and brush it with melted butter. Put a teaspoon of the rice mix onto the pastry, then fold the corner up, keep folding until you have a triangular shaped parcel. Add some extra butter to stick the flap down.
- Place the finished samosa onto a baking tray.
- Brush all the samosas with a little melted butter, turn them over and brush the other side.
- Bake at 180C fan / 200C / Gas 6 for 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown and crisp
- Serve with a dipping sauce made from natural yoghurt and sweet chilli sauce.
Notes
Adapt the filling to suit the leftovers you have: chopped leftover cooked vegetables would work well.
Once assembled you can freeze the samosas – pop them into the freezer on a tray, then pack into a plastic box once frozen.
Wrap any leftover filo pastry in cling film and freeze.
