Thai Phyllo Cups with a dash of ‘sweet and sour sauce’~
My inspiration for the dish.
Nothing beats having
an impromptu get together around a roaring fire this time of the year and these
could be prepared in advance and frozen before the baking stage. When needed they can be popped in the oven
and baked.
These tasty morsels
explode with flavor and crispness when one takes that first bite.
Fresh flavours with a
hint of garlic , coriander and ginger are great for winterlicious comfort!
Thank you Pick ‘n Pay
for this opportunity to experiment in my kitchen…..
