How to Make Beef Triangles With Chutney Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain yogurt and 1/4 cup mango chutney. Set aside.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef (or lamb/turkey) over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Drain off any excess grease using a colander.
  4. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
  5. Return the meat mixture to the skillet. Stir in 1/4 cup currants, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp ground coriander, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, and 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp water and 1 tbsp cornstarch until smooth.
  7. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the meat mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  9. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  10. Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry at a time. Cut each sheet lengthwise into 4 equal strips.
  11. Lightly brush each strip with cooking spray.
  12. Stack 2 strips together. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture onto one end of the stack.
  13. Fold the bottom left corner over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding to create a triangle shape.
  14. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
  15. Place triangles seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush with cooking spray.
  16. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  17. Serve warm with the prepared mango chutney yogurt sauce. Serving size: 1 triangle and 1 1/2 teaspoons sauce.
