Sweet potato & ginger parcels

These moreish snacks are made with Tunisian brik pastry. Similar to filo, but crispier, it's well worth keeping a pack in the freezer

Method

  1. Microwave or oven-cook potatoes until tender. Melt a knob of butter in a pan. Fry chilli for 30 secs, then spring onion whites and ginger for 1 min. Scrape flesh from potatoes, discard skins, then mash into the pan. Season, then stir in onion greens.
  2. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unroll a pastry sheet and cut 3 x 6cm strips from the middle; discard leftovers. Brush strips with melted butter, place a spoonful of potato mix at one end, then fold up from side-to-side to make a triangular parcel. The filling should be completely sealed in. Arrange parcels on a baking sheet, brush with butter and repeat until you've used up all the filling.
  3. Bake for 20 mins until crisp and golden. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon; then serve.

    Delicious. Used shallots instead of spring onions, but quick easy and good fun for the kids to make.

    Waitrose sells the pastry. It's called Feuille de Brick & you'll find it with the fresh pastry (usually near the butter).

    Does anyone know if you can use shortcrust pastry for this as my son cannot eat wheat and the only alternative I can make is shortcrust

    Vonnie Yeah, you could use shortcrust or puff pastry. This would make little pasties rather than parcels, but I expect they would be just as yummy.

    these are SO SO lovely - i rolled the pastry in a spring roll shape instead of these triangles. the Ginger and sweet potato are a gorgeous conversation.
