Instructions:
-
Prepare Filling:
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add shallots and sauté until soft.
- Incorporate lean ground lamb and beef, mashing with a fork until browned.
- Pour in dry white wine and simmer for a few minutes.
- Stir in fresh parsley, mint, dill, and tomato sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper, simmer for 20 minutes, then allow to cool.
- Once cooled, add grated Parmesan cheese and beaten egg to the mixture.
- If the mixture seems too loose, stir in bread crumbs immediately before stuffing.
-
Prepare Phyllo Pastry:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove phyllo pastry sheets from the package, covering them with waxed paper and a damp towel to prevent drying.
- Take out one sheet at a time, keeping the rest covered.
- Place a sheet of phyllo pastry on a flat surface and brush it with a mixture of melted butter and margarine using a pastry brush.
- Repeat the process with another sheet of phyllo pastry.
- Cut the buttered sheets into 2-inch wide strips.
-
Assembly:
- Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the prepared filling at the bottom of each strip.
- Starting from the bottom, roll up each strip like a flag, enclosing the filling.
- Repeat the process until all the filling is used up.
-
Baking:
- Place the stuffed pastry triangles on an ungreased baking sheet.
- These triangles can be kept frozen in a tightly sealed container for up to two months.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Do not thaw the frozen triangles; bake them directly for 15 to 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Enjoy the delightful flavors of these Greek Stuffed Meat Triangles as a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion! 🥟✨
