Directions
6 oz bittersweet chocolate
1/2 c granulated sugar
8 sheets filo -- defrosted
8 TB unsalted butter(1 stick) --
: melted
: Equipment
: An 11- by 17-inch baking
: tray,
: lined with parchment paper
Break up 4 ounces of chocolate into 1/2-ounce pieces. Set aside. In a
food processor, finely grind the remaining chocolate with the sugar.
Lay 8 sheets of filo out on top of each other. Place one sheet
lengthwise on the work surface. Keep the remaining sheets covered
with a damp towel.
Brush the sheet with some melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2
tablespoons of the sugar mixture. Place a second sheet over the
sugared sheet. Butter the second sheet and sprinkle with the sugar
mixture. Add 2 more sheets, buttering and sprinkling between each.
Cut the filo horizontally into 4 even strips. Starting at the left
side of one of the strips, place a 1/2-ounce piece of chocolate 2
inches from the end. Fold the filo that is to the left of the piece
of chocolate over the chocolate toward the back side of the strip,
making a 3-inch triangle. The left end of the filo should be even
with the back edge. Fold the piece of chocolate to the right, over
itself, retaining the triangular shape. Fold the chocolate piece
toward the front edge of the strip. Continue wrapping the chocolate,
alternating
the direction with each fold, until you get to the end. (It is like
folding a flag.) Wrap the other strips in the same manner. With the
remaining sheets, make 4 more chocolate-filled triangles. Preheat the
oven to 350 degrees. Place the triangles on the baking sheet. Bake
until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later, we find a couple of interesting books which appeared in the 1300s : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a torrent in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Filled Filo Triangles recipe.
