Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 12-hole muffin pan.
Step 2
Heat oil in a frying pan over mediumhigh heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until softened. Add mince. Cook, breaking up mince with a wooden spoon, for 8 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Add vegetables, barbecue sauce and tomato paste. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Remove from heat. Set aside for 10 minutes.

We used a carrot, pea, capsicum, onion and corn frozen vegetable mix.
Tip
Filo pastry dries out quickly on contact with air. Cover with a damp tea towel to prevent it drying and cracking.
