large skillet. Saute over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in
the herbs. Let cool & divide into
24 portions. Preheat oven to 350F. Cut phyllo sheets in half
lengthwise & fourths crosswise, forming 80 4" X 6" squares. Cover
phyllo with slightly damp towel. Lay one square on a sheet of waxed
paper. Spray it with olive oil. Repaet with 2 more squares. Place a
portion of the filling in the centre. Bring up the opposite corners
of the phyllo, crimp firmly & twist the ends to form purses, each
with a pointed top. Repeat with remaining phyllo. Spray baking sheets
with oil. Transfer pastries to sheet & bake until golden brown, 20 to
25 minutes. Transfer to a platter & serve at once.

Food Quotes:
My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way.
Henry Youngman
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Rose Kennedy, (1890-1995) family matriarch, on her 100th birthday, 1991
When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?
Alice B. Toklas
One cannot refuse to eat just because there is a chance of being choked.
