Filo bundles full of black beans, sunny tomatoes and summer herbs

I've just finished writing a few recipes for UK TV Food. It's been a really lovely commission to do I think the results are super good. This is one of my favourites but perhaps it should be put into a one bowl, one tray category? 

The black beans are so elegant; they look like currency, all shiny and extravagant. 

FILO BUNDLES FULL OF BLACK BEANS, FETA, TOMATOES & SUMMER HERBS

Makes 4 large parcels

Prep Time – 20 minutes

Cook Time – 20-25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 x 400g Black beans, washed & drained

60g Soft Bread crumbs

160g Sun blushed toms, roughly chopped + 2tbsp of the marinating oil 100g crème fraiche

½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg

4 tbsp flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped

100g Feta, crumbled

270g Filo (approx. 6 x sheets 50cm x 25cm)

75g butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

1/ Preheat the oven to 200C, fan 180C, gas 6.

2/ In a large bowl combine the black beans, breadcrumbs and sun blushed tomatoes. Give everything a good stir before adding the tomato marinating oil and crème fraiche. Add the freshly grated nutmeg, parsley and feta. Season well and set aside.

3/ Cut the filo into roughly 12 x 25cm x 25cm squares. Brush one square with melted butter before sandwiching with a second square. Again brush the second square with butter before laying a third square on top. Finally brush this square with melted butter.

4/ Pile ¼ of the mixture into the center of the square and, using your hands, bring the pastry up and around the sides of the filling, partially encasing it.

5/ Brush any exposed edges with a little more melted butter and place on a baking sheet. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the filo is golden in colour. Serve with some fresh green leaves.

Tip – If your tomatoes don’t arrive with any marinating oil, just use olive oil.
