Method
Pastry
- Place phyllo pastry on a large working surface. Unfold each sheet and cut into three pieces, then three again. Brush the pieces with melted butter, repeat and place three pieces in each hollow of a muffin pan. Set aside.
Filling
- Melt butter in a medium, heavy-based frying pan. Add onion and sauté for a few minutes until soft. Add curry powder and fry for 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside. Soak bread in milk.
- Combine cooked fish, onion, soaked bread with milk, Spur Salad & French Fry Dressing, jam, lemon zest, lemon juice, raisins, Spur Steakhouse Spice and black pepper. Whisk eggs, add and mix well. Spoon fish mixture into phyllo pastry.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes until set and golden brown. Serve warm.
Variations
- Substitute the hake or silvers with any other 280 g fresh fish, or even two cans of salmon (drained) or tuna (drained).
- If fresh or frozen fish is used, poach the fish in a little water and milk in a medium, heavy-based saucepan for about 10 minutes or until fish is cooked and tender. Drain and flake.
