with thanks to mediterrasian
 |
| 6 sheets filo (phyllo) pastry |
| 2 cups peeled, diced pumpkin |
| 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
| 1 onion |
| 1 bunch spinach (around 8 oz/240g)—stems removed, chopped |
| 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill (we used dried dill) |
| ½ teaspoon salt |
| ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
| 4 oz (120g) feta cheese—crumbled |
| 1 tablespoon melted butter |
| 2 tablespoons raw pine nuts Basically - prep Phyllo as usual (I used four sheets per tartlet for 8 sheets total) - cut sheet in six equal squares. Sauté everything except get and pine nuts. Add feta, stir ... fill cups of muffin tin (12 each) bake 22 minutes on 350 - somewhere along the way add pine nuts to tops for light toasting. we had filling left over which will be used as a hash. Everyone loved these. Pumpkin Soup I just made up a recipe. about 2 cups of roasted pumpkin bag of peeled parsnips 1 white onion roasted 1 small purple bell pepper roasted 1small red pepper roasted 3 cloves garlic roasted chicken broth Creole seasoning mixture to spice it up (Tony Chachere's)  heated then pureed to consistency of soup served with dollop of greek yogurt and pipitas I made this a few days in advance and re-heated. Husband didn't like - said it tasted like a baby food ... more for me. One Baked Brie in a pie shell and topped with black cherry jelly (delicious) Wrapped Brie in pie crust, brush with egg and melted butter (he said lots of butter) bake at 350 for 20 minutes top with jelly to serve Deviled eggs ... the way I fix 'em.
