Ingredients

Method

1.Heat oil in a saucepan, add onion and mince. Cook on medium for 10 minutes until onion is softened and the mince browned. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
2.Add tomatoes and tomato paste and cook over a medium heat for 10 to 15 mins until sauce thickens. Stir in oregano, season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
3.Preheat oven to 200°C. Quickly brush 1 sheet of filo with butter, top with a second buttered sheet and place a third sheet on top. Cut in half. Repeat with remaining filo to make four squares of three layers each.
4.Place a portion of mince mixture on the centre of each filo square. Fold edges and brush tops with butter.
5.Place parcels on a baking tray. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with salad greens.
