Asparagus and beans in phyllo pastry

Serves: 6
Cooking Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

  • 24 asparagus spears
  • 36 mange tout
  • 24 green string beans
  • 400g phyllo pastry
  • 200g butter, melted, for brushing
  • 125ml (½ cup) crème fraîche
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1

Blanch the asparagus, mange tout and beans in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and plunge into ice water. Drain and set aside until needed.

2

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

3

Cut the phyllo sheets into 20cm-wide strips. Brush each strip with melted butter and place 4 strips on top of one another so that you have 6 phyllo stacks.

4

Spread 15ml (1 tbsp) of crème fraîche in the middle of each pastry stack. Top with 4 asparagus spears, 6 mange tout and 4 beans. Drizzle with lemon juice and extra melted butter and season.

5

Fold over the sides of each pastry stack to enclose the filling. Brush the parcels with the remaining melted butter, place on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
