Instructions
1. Prepare the filling for the parcels. Wash your hands and utensils straight after chopping the beetroot so it doesn’t stain. Add the chicken, chorizo, beetroot and sundried tomatoes to a bowl and mix.
2. Add the Lactofree soft white cheese and make sure it’s evenly coating all the filling.
3. On a clean and dry chopping board place one of the sheets of filo pastry. Brush with a little olive oil and place another sheet on top. Brush this oil adding a third layer of filo. Then halve the pastry and place two teaspoons of the filling on each half.
4. Brush oil around the outside of each parcel and roll. To do this bring each of the long sides in towards the filling and roll the filling over in the pastry. Place it on a baking tray.
5. Repeat this until you’ve filled out of pastry or filling.
6. Brush each of the parcels with some more olive oil and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
7. Bake in the oven at 180ºC fan for about 20 minutes until the parcels are golden brown.
8. Serve – and enjoy
