Step by step recipe:
 | |
Pour 4 tablespoons olive oil into a pan on medium heat, add shallot, salt, pepper, and cook for one minute. |  |
Add leeks, mix well and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes, until leeks are just cooked, checking that leeks don't catch on bottom of pan. Meanwhile, cut chicken (use leftovers) into very small pieces. |  |
As soon as leeks are cooked, add chicken pieces, 100 ml cream and grated a little Parmigiano reggiano (Parmesan) (to taste), mix well and leave to thicken a few minutes, uncovered. |  |
Remove from heat, allow to cool, and add chopped parsley. |  |
Spread out in front of you two sheets of filo, one on top of the other... Note: you can apply some melted butter with a brush between the two sheets to make them stick, it'll be easier to roll up. |  |
...put about a tablespoon of chicken-leeks mixture in the middle of one edge of filo sheets... |  |
... roll filo around the mix over about ¼ length to start a roll... |  |
...fold sides over centre... |  |
...and finish rolling up. Continue like this with all the mix, or all the sheets. |  |
Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C). Put rolls on a baking sheet, apply melted butter with a brush. Make sure that end of the filo sheet makes a good joint to get a neat and pretty roll. |  |
You can sprinkle some sesame (or other) seeds on rolls. |  |
Put in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes... |  |
...until rolls are nicely browned. Serve with a green salad if possible. |  |
Remarks:
The rolls are unsuitable for freezing because filo pastry breaks into fragments when frozen. You would do better to freeze chicken-leek mixture, then thaw it and make rolls just before cooking.Source:
