Ingredients
4 cups finely chopped fresh mixed vegetables, such as cauliflower, carrots, onions, snow peas, celery and broccoli
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp vegetable oil
8 sheets phyllo pastry
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup creamy goat cheese
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
pinch salt
pinch pepper
Instructions
Microwave, steam or boil vegetables until bright in color. Rinse with cold water and drain. Stir butter with oil. Lightly brush some over 1 sheet of phyllo pastry. (Cover remaining phyllo with a damp tea towel to prevent drying out.) Fold in half lengthwise and brush top surface. Mound 1/2 cup (125 mL) vegetables at one end, slightly off centre. Top with 2 tbsp (30 mL) rice, 2 tbsp (30 mL) goat cheese, 2 tsp (10 mL) chopped fresh basil and pinches of salt and pepper. Fold as if folding a flag until it forms a triangle. Brush with oil-butter mixture. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Make 8 triangles. Bake in preheated 375F (190C) oven until browned, from 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot along with a steaming bowl of soup.
