Ingredients
1 large onion, sliced
100g butter
50g plain flour
250ml warm milk
2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 medium carrots, peeled and grated
1 courgette, grated
300g cooked ham
300g cooked turkey
270g pack of filo pastry
100g melted butter for brushing
Method
Sauté the onion with the butter in a large saucepan on a medium heat until translucent. Add the flour and cook with the onions until you get a nutty colour from the paste. Slowly add the milk, stirring all the time until you have a smooth but thick sauce. It’s important it’s thick at this stage. Stir in the mustard, carrot and courgette. Cover and cook for 10 – 15 minutes. Finally add the cooked meat. Set the saucepan to one side and allow to cool to room temperature.
Preheat a fan oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Take a springform circular baking tin. Grease with some melted butter.
Open the filo pastry and sit it lengthways (landscape mode) on a chopping board in front of you, brush the pastry with melted butter. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the thickened sauce mixture onto the filo pastry. Roll the pastry into a long sausage containing the sauce. Repeat until all the layers of filo are filled and rolled into long sausages.
Coil the filled filo pastry inside of the baking tin/dish. Brush liberally with melted butter.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour until the filo is crispy and golden on top. Allow to cool slightly before removing the pastry from the baking tin, slicing, and serving with a fresh green salad.
