Filo Mushroom Pies

 Categories: Appetizers 
      Yield: 42 servings 
  
      1 pk Filo pastry sheets                  2 ts Coriander seeds 
    3/4 lb Flat mushrooms (w/o stalks)              - toasted & lightly crushed 
    1/2 lb Onions                                   Butter or oil 
      7 oz Feta cheese                         2 sm Eggs 
      2 ts Whole cumin                     
  
  Chop the onion finely and soften it in a little butter or oil, then fry 
  hard until frazzled.  Remove and reserve.  Dice the mushrooms and fry them 
  in the fat remaining in the pan; stir and turn them as necessary to drive 
  off most of their moisture and to concentrate flavour.  Mix the two 
  vegetables together and season with plenty of salt and pepper.  Stir in the 
  cumin, coriander and grated cheese.  When cool bind with the beaten eggs. 
   
  Unwrap the pastry one sheet at a time.  Keep the rest covered with a damp 
  cloth to prevent drying out.  Cut each sheet into strips about 3 x 10 
  inches long and brush on one side only with melted butter.  Put one rounded 
  metal teaspoonful of the mixture near the short edge of the buttery side of 
  the first pastry strip - about 1 inch from the bottom and slightly to the 
  left-hand side.  Fold the bottom right-hand corner of the pastry diagonally 
  over the filling to make a triangle.  Continue folding the pastry at right 
  angles up the whole lenghth of the strip so you end up with a neat little 
  triangular parcel.  Make more little pies in the same way until all the 
  filling is used up. 
   
  To cook, simply brush the pies all over with melted butter or oil, arrange 
  them side by side on baking trays and bake at 350-375 F (180-190 C) gas 
  mark 4/5 for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crisp.  It is 
  best to turn the pies over after the first 10 minutes and brush with more 
  butter or oil.  For even crisper results the pies can be deep-fried.
