Ingredients

Creamy Mint Chutney

Instructions

  1. Step
    Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Step
    In a blender or food processor, pulse together mint and parsley leaves, jalapeño, lemon juice and sugar. Add cream and puree until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Step
    In a large skillet, cook spinach over medium heat until wilted. Scrape into a strainer and press spinach to remove excess water; set aside. Return skillet to medium-low heat and add butter. Cook onion and garlic for 3 minutes or until softened. Stir in cream cheese, dill and curry powder and cook until cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat and stir in cooked spinach, potato and salt to combine. Stir in feta and mozzarella cheeses; let cool slightly.
  4. Step
    Lay out 1 sheet of phyllo pastry and brush lightly with butter. Repeat with another 2 sheet of phyllo pastry and butter. Cut pastry crosswise into 5 equal pieces. Spoon a rounded tbsp (15 mL) of the filling on each strip. Fold one corner of the phyllo over the filling to form a triangle and continue folding the dough all the way up the strip, keeping a triangle shape. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
  5. Step
    Place triangles on prepared baking sheet and brush tops with melted butter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly and serve with Creamy Mint Chutney.

Tip

- Cover and refrigerate triangles for up to 2 days and re-crisp in a 350ºF (180ºC) oven to warm through. Chutney can be made up to 5 days ahead.
