Rice and Artichoke Phyllo Triangles

Submitted by southern chef in lo

"These are nice little appetizers--simple to make. You can make the rice a day ahead of time so the rice will be nice and cool to work with. A pizza cutter works well for cutting the dough. Prep time includes the cooling of the rice."

• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 40

ingredients

• 198.44 g box long grain and wild rice blend (of Uncle Ben's butter and herb fast cook)
• 184.27 g jar quartered marinated artichokes, drained and finely chopped
• 29.58 ml of grated parmesan cheese
• 14.79 ml of minced onion
• 78.78 ml plain yogurt or 78.78 ml sour cream
• 10 sheet phyllo dough, thawed

directions

1. Prepare rice according to box directions; cool completely (you can do this a day ahead if you like).
2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
3. In medium bowl, combine rice, artichokes, parmesan cheese, and onion; mix well. Stir in yogurt and mix until well blended.
4. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a damp kitchen towel (keep remaining dough covered). Lightly spray dough with nonstick cooking spray. Fold dough in half by bringing short sides of dough together. Spray lightly with more cooking spray.
5. Cut dough into 4 equal strips about 3-1/4-inch wide. For each appetizer, spoon about 1 tablespoon of rice mixture about 1 inch from end of each strip. Fold 1 corner over filling to make a triangle that encloses filling. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
6. Place triangles on greased baking sheet and spray triangles with nonstick cooking spray.
7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
