Greek Pastries

Greek Pastries

1 lbs. lean ground beef

1 1/2 cup mushrooms

¼ cup green onion

1 cup mini tomatoes

1 cup celery

1 head romaine lettuce

½ cup olive oil

¼ cup red wine vinegar

Dash of parsley flakes

Phyllo pastry sheets or your own recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Fry lean ground beef in frying pan till no pink remains. Strain well after cooking. While straining put mushrooms and onion in frying pan until soft. Add meat and cook till warm. 

Prepare tomatoes, celery, and lettuce into a salad.

Mix together olive oil, red wine vinegar and parsley. Stir well and pour ¼ cup of the mixture on to the meat mixture. Pour the rest of the salad dressing on the salad and stir.

Prepare Phyllo sheets as directed. Spoon as much meat mixture as you want into wraps. Bake for 25 minutes or until tops are browning at 350°F.

This meal is very good for a different kind meal where you need to mix it up. The salad dressing gives a very nice flavor to the meat and the salad. The Phyllo wraps you can buy in the frozen section of the grocery store. You can also try using Phyllo cups or tart sizes instead of sheets for smaller portions or appetizers. I also like using different types of vegetables that I have on hand, like cucumbers, peppers, red onion, black olives, or different types of lettuce to add some color. You can add any spice to jazz it up like a cube of bullion,  a lemon slice, or herbs. Try experimenting!
