Green Pea Phyllo Purses
Ingredients
3 3/4 cup Frozen petit peas, defrosted

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

2 Jalapeno peppers, seeded & - minced

1 tbsp Grated ginger

1/2 tbsp Lemon juice

1 tsp Honey

1 tbsp Cilantro, minced

1 tbsp Mint, minced

10 Phyllo sheets

Preparation
Place peas between several layers of kitchen towels to absorb excess liquid. Place in a food processor & pulse until reduced to a coarse pulp. Combine with oil, peppers, ginger, lemon juice & honey in a large skillet. Sauté over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the herbs. Let cool & divide into 24 portions.

Preheat oven to 350F. Cut phyllo sheets in half lengthwise & fourths crosswise, forming 80 4" X 6" squares. Cover phyllo with slightly damp towel. Lay one square on a sheet of waxed paper. Spray it with olive oil. Repeat with 2 more squares. Place a portion of the filling in the center.

Bring up the opposite corners of the phyllo, crimp firmly & twist the ends to form purses, each with a pointed top. Repeat with remaining phyllo. Spray baking sheets with oil. Transfer pastries to sheet & bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter & serve at once.
