Posted by Chyrel


List of Ingredients

Wash, trim all inedible leaf portions and choke, and steam:
6 artichokes (or use 6 baby artichokes)

Sauté in olive oil and/or butter:
2 leeks, chopped and set aside.

Sauté in olive oil:
1 c sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced


Recipe

When the mushrooms start to soften, add the artichokes and:
1 boneless chicken breast, skinned and sliced

Sauté over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through,
then chop the whole mixture finely. Add the leeks and:
1/2 c hazelnuts, chopped

Prepare a dish of melted butter and olive oil. Brush a square sheet of filo with the butter mixture and fold in half diagonally to form a triangle. Place 2 tablespoons of the filling in a corner and fold in half, flip over, fold in half, keeping the dough moist with the butter mixture, until you have a small triangular pocket. Place on a baking sheet and bake on the top shelf of a 350 oven until golden brown (around 30 minutes). Serve immediately.

Notes & Variations:
1.You can prepare these in advance, bake them for around 15 minutes, and then remove them from the oven and finish baking them just prior to serving.

2.For a vegetarian alternative, substitute 1/2 cup of grated cheese for the chicken.
