Spicy Thai Chicken Finger Food

I came across this when I found some extra fillo pastry in the freezer that needed using up. I experimented with some ingredients that I had and came across this really tasty dish.




Ingredients:
600g minced chicken
22 sheets of fillo pastry
1 cup of breadcrumbs
1/2 a jar (50g) of Kaffir lime leaves
1 heaped tbsp of lemon grass
4 tbsp of sweet chilli sauce
a bunch of coriander finely chopped
1/2 cup of olive oil
some salt to taste

Mix all the ingredients apart from the olive oil into a bowl.
Cut the fillo pastry sheets into halves to form two rectangles.
Brush a sheet with oil and place 1 heaped tbsp of mixture near the edge of the sheet.
Make that mixture into a sausage type shape.
Fold both sides over then brush with oil.
Roll the fillo into a spring roll type shape, brushing with oil with every fold.
Repeat with the remaining pastry and mixture.
Put in oven and bake for about 25 minutes at 180 deg C.
It goes well with Sweet Chilli Sauce, but it is not needed.
