Directions
Kasbah Bites, If you wish make these larger for your main dinner meat dish or make them even smaller as a one bite appetizer – lovely spicy flavor Be sure that you cook your brown rice long enough – probably 30 minutes If folding the strips of phyllo is confusing to you look in any Greek cook book for Tiropetes Cheese Triangles and follow the folding instructions , OK, there will be those who will feel that I should not rate because I changed the recipe, but the fact is, my family loved these, and I’m sure they would be equally (or more so) tasty following the original recipe For the vegetarians in my tribe, I substituted a package of Yves Veggie Ground Chicken, and used cooked quinoa instead of brown rice to increase the protein I made larger portions for main course servings using an icecream scoop to divide the mixture, getting 11 phyllo packages (used an envelope fold) I baked at 375F until they were golden brown and delicious Many thanks for submitting this special recipe , Very tasty! I’m keeping this recipe to make again, with some alterations I found the original recipe to be a bit too bland for my liking, so I doubled the honey and cinnamon and added about 1/8 tsp more each of the cumin and cloves The next time I make these, I’ll add about 1/4 cup raisins BTW, my 3 year old declared these too spicy even though used a bit less of the called amount of red pepper flakes If serving this to those with sensitive palates, I’d recommend using 1/4 tsp or less of the red pepper flakes
