Middle Eastern Pastries

Throughout the Middle East there are many different varieties of small savoury pastries that are made by the local bakeries.  You can have ones with cheese fillings, vegetable such as spinach or mushrooms as well as nut fillings or minced lamb.  The filling can be spiked with spices or be quite plain.  They are very popular and eaten at any time of the day as a snack on the hoof or taken as gift when going to someone’s house.  These look very impressive when they are displayed on a plate fresh from the oven.
