INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Saute 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.
Repaet with 2 more squares. Place a portion of the filling in the centre.
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.
