Chicken, Haloumi & Roasted Capsicum Parcels
The flavours of the Middle East feature in these mouth-watering parcels. For this recipe I buy bottled roasted red capsicums (peppers). While you could prepare your own, it is a time-consuming step.
Serves: 6
12 ready-rolled filo pastry sheets (from the refrigerated section of the supermarket)
