Starter Recipes - Garlic Prawns in Filo Tartlets Recipe

Method :

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Brush four individual 7.5cm/3 in flan tins with melted butter.

Cut the filo pastry into twelve 10cm/4 in squares and brush with the melted butter.

Place three squares inside each tin, overlapping them at slight angles and carefully frilling the edges and points while forming a good hollow in each centre.

Bake the pastry for 10-15 minutes, until crisp and golden. Cool slightly and remove from the tins.

To make the filling, melt the butter in a large frying pan, fry the garlic, chili and prawns for 1-2 minutes to warm through. Stir in the parsley or chives and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon the prawn filling into the tartlets and serve at once.
