Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6 oz Cooked Corned Beef, diced or sliced This is the star ingredient that provides protein and flavor.
  • 1/4 head Caramelized Cabbage, cut into thin wedges Sweetness emerges when caramelized, enhancing the dish's depth.
  • 1 small Leek, thinly sliced It adds a mild onion flavor; onion can be substituted if needed.
  • 1 medium Russet Potato, diced This provides substance; feel free to substitute with Yukon Gold.
  • 2 small Carrots, chopped They contribute sweetness and vibrant color to the filling.
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced This adds aromatic depth and enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper To taste; these elevate and balance the flavors.
  • Dried Mustard Adds a subtle tang and depth; omit if preferred.
For the Wrapping
  • Filo Pastry Ensure it's fully defrosted before use.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil For brushing between pastry layers.

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 24-cup muffin tin
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Ensure your filo pastry is fully defrosted and at room temperature. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and cover the sheets with a damp towel.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cabbage wedges and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then slice into ribbons.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, followed by leeks, potatoes, and carrots. Sauté for around 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic and cabbage, mixing until tender.
  4. Transfer the sautéed mixture to a mixing bowl and add diced corned beef, sea salt, pepper, and dried mustard, combining well.
  5. Brush a 24-cup muffin tin with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Lay down one sheet of filo and brush lightly with olive oil. Stack a second sheet, cut into quarters, and create a cross shape with two pieces. Fill with about 2 tablespoons of the mixture, scrunch the edges to form a parcel, and place into the muffin tin.
  7. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
