Recipe request

Brendan and I enjoyed a spinach and chicken pie the other night and I have a bunch of leftover phyllo dough. Anyone have a good recipe that uses phyllo? Extra credit if it includes curry!

Curry on phyllo, perhaps?

[WhoDaddy]

Um, have you ever heard of Google??

In "The Best Recipes in the World," Mark Bittman has a great baklava recipe that's worth trying. Easy and worthwhile -- although I had to scale it down. The book's at home (and I'm not) so I can't reproduce it here, but maybe Amazon lets you "Search Inside"?

Becky,

I sent you a recipe via BLoy's email.

All I've ever made with phyllo dough is chicken pot pie and baklava.

WARNING -- NO BAKLAVA! Contains pecans, tons and tons of them.

There's a really simple curried meat turnover that's often served in dim sum places. My mom used to make these, and Google yielded a recipe. Lots of variations are possible; almost anything you'd put in a meat pie can be used as a filling for phyllo triangles. Google yielded similar recipes using chicken or shrimp as the protein.

p.s. you don't even need protein - fill the triangles with curried potatoes and peas for phyllo samosas.

My grandmother used to make a soup that was similar to escarole....but she used phyllo and spinach. I found a similar recipe here http://www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/thanksgiving/phyllo-florentine.htm

I personally am not a fan of dill so I would probably opt out of that.

You could always make spanakopita!

You know, Mom, it would probably be rather difficult for Becky to make baklava without noticing that it contains pecans. ;)

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody!

but my mom mode was on.

Hehe.

I have a really good recipe for French Onion soup... oh wait, that wasn't the question, sorry...

[Jim Hu]

So... should we expect photoblogging of what Becky finally made?

[Becky]

Of course! It might be awhile, but sometime next week, some phyllo creation will appear on the blog. :)

[Alasdair]

Jim Hu - wouldn't that be phylloblogging ?

[Brendan]

It's better than phalloblogging...

Becky - if you are any good at making a Strudel, then you can make a mind-blowing version that uses a slightly less sweet curry version of the apples ... depending on the bouillon or stock used, it can even be genuinely vegetarian ...
