Appetiser : Meatballs wrapped in Phyllo pastry


When you can't get wonton wrappers, the next best thing (at least for me) is phyllo pastry. Basically this is my take on the Chinese Wonton

Meatballs wrapped in Phyllo Pastry
makes about 20-25 balls

Ingredients
500gms of ground meat *usually pork but you can half with chicken
1 egg
2 tbsp flour
1 spring onions,finely chopped
1 stick carrot, finely chopped

1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sugar
a pinch of salt
squeeze of anchovy paste
dash of fish sauce

white pepper , to taste

20-25 squares of phyllo pastry
cooking oil, to brush

Preparation
1) Heat oven at 200°c / Gas 5
2) In a bowl, place the ground meat, and mix togther all the seasoning and vegetables. Let it sit for 30 mins.
3) After 30 mins. take out the phyllo pastry from fridge (already cut squares). Brush each pastry with some oil, fill with about 1.5 tsp of seasoned meat. wrapped it up until all meat is finish. Place on baking tray.
4) Bake for 10 mins. and then turn the baking dish around and bake for another 8-10 mins. until meat is fully done and pastry golden brown.
5) Serve hot.
