Ingredients

6 sheets fresh filo pastry

300 gram fresh crab meat

12 cooked prawns, peeled, deveined, roughly chopped

1 large avocado, stone removed, flesh diced

1 mango cheek, peeled, flesh finely chopped

1/3 cup sweet chilli sauce

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves

1 lime, juice

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease 2 x 6-hole Texas muffin pans.

2.Layer 3 sheets of pastry, spraying each sheet with oil as you go. Repeat with remaining 3 sheets in a separate stack.

3.Cut each pastry stack into 8 even squares. Gently push squares into 8 of the holes in the prepared pans. Gently push in remaining squares, rotating slightly to form a star shape. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden. Cool slightly.

4.In a large bowl, combine crab meat, prawns, avocado, mango, chilli sauce, onion, coriander and lime juice. Spoon mixture into cups. Serve immediately.

You can also make these cases using soft tortillas in place of the filo pastry. Spray with oil and press into the holes in the muffin pans. Make the cases in advance, but don’t fill them until you’re ready to eat or they’ll go soggy.
