Camembert and Onion Parcels

Serves 6 Cook 40 min

Ingredients

  • 50g/2oz butter
  • 2 Spanish onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp light muscovado sugar
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 400g filo pastry
  • about 250g/9oz Camembert cheese, cut into 6 pieces
  • 6 tsp cranberry sauce
  •   seasoning

Method

  1. Melt half of the butter in a pan, then add the onions, sugar and vinegar. Cook over a low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelised.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Melt the remaining butter. Cut the filo pastry into 24 15cm/6in squares. Layer four squares, one on top of the other, making a half turn each time to form a star shape. Brush each square with butter as you work. Repeat with the remaining pastry to make five more 'stars'.
  3. Place a piece of cheese in the centre of each 'star', then top with the onions and a teaspoon of the cranberry sauce. Draw up the pastry to enclose the filling; pinch well to seal. Brush with melted butter, place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown; serve immediately.
