Tenderstem broccoli and sweet potato filo rolls

Tenderstem Broccoli and Sweet Potato Filo Rolls

Method

 
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.

2. Parboil the broccoli for 4 minutes, drain and set aside.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan and sauté the sweet potato for 5 minutes until almost tender. Add the shallots and almonds and cook for a further 5 minutes until both vegetables are soft.

4. Stir in the spices and cook for 2 minutes before adding the currants, lemon zest and juice and seasoning.

5. Cut the pastry into squares approx 15 x 15cms. Brush one sheet with oil and lay a second sheet on top. Dot a good tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture in a horizontal line 2 cms from the top and put two Tenderstem stems on top, top to tail, overlapping if necessary. Roll over and turn the edges in, brushing with oil and roll into a cigar.

6. Brush the top with oil. Repeat until you have 8 rolls. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crisp.

7. Serve, dipping them into the yogurt.
