filo pastry

[nextqueen]

i defrosted some filo pastry yesterday, only used a few sheets of it and now i dont know how to use it up, any ideas? dont want to waste it. was supposed to having salmon and mussels tonight on a bed of purple sprouting broccoli, the recipe done on Lorraine on thursday.

A massive jam tart, im slavvering at the thought.

Make some salmon parcels?

did think of salmon parcels but would it go with a bed of broccoli surrounded by deshelled mussels in white wine sauce? i did notice that the filo cooked very quickly, how can i ensure that the salmon will be cooked inside, how may minutes do you reckon?

[boxtops]

Salmon takes only a few minutes - or cook the fish first, drain and make up the parcels, the cooked mussels can go inside too. Serve the parcels on the brocolli bed.

Well nice to see my suggestion got thoroughly ignored!

Harumph!

I was going to say "sweet tart" B00, but you got there first!

[B00]

well it seems my/our suggestion is about as welcome as a fart in a wetsuit Boxy.

sorry Boo, i didnt mean to dismiss your idea, i was so engrossed in creating something together with the recipe i had already seen. i dont have a tin for the jam tart so thats why i moved on, sincere apologies! we dont do jam in our house either so definitely a no no. thanks for your idea though and will maybe help someone else in the future, grovel grovel.
