G flicking through recipe books again, got an idea for these filo pastry Santa sacks. The question was, what should the filling be? The book recommended feta cheese and rocket, but G was not happy with this. I suggested apple and raisins, a bit of a mince pie feel, but G said they had to be for dinner, and came up with chopped red onion, quorn, and chopped tomatoes, cooked in a pan for a while until she reckoned they were soft enough and then wrapped up in the pastry layers. G spent ages cutting each layer of pastry into six fairly equal squares, and really loved painting them with olive oil and a pastry brush. End result: G said she preferred the risotto I had done to fill us up and just toyed with one, big sister rejected the risotto and scoffed 5. Jack Spratt and all that, it was all vegie so they must have got some of their 5 a day somewhere along the line.....
