Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Peel, wash and chop finely 2 leeks.

Peel, wash and chop finely 1 shallot.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Pour 4 tablespoons olive oil into a pan on medium heat, add shallot, salt, pepper, and cook for one minute.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

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.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

As soon as leeks are cooked, add chicken pieces, 100 ml cream and grated a little Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) (to taste), mix well and leave to thicken a few minutes, uncovered.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Remove from heat, allow to cool, and add chopped parsley.

Stage 6

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.

Stage 7

...put about a tablespoon of chicken-leeks mixture in the middle of one edge of filo sheets...

Stage 8

... roll filo around the mix over about ¼ length to start a roll...

Stage 9

...fold sides over centre...

Stage 10 - 15 min.

...and finish rolling up.

Continue like this with all the mix, or all the sheets.

Stage 11 - 2 min.

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.

Stage 12

You can sprinkle some sesame (or other) seeds on rolls.

Stage 13 - 10 min.

Put in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes...

Stage 14

...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.
