Add the minced beef, in batches and cook until brown.  Add the potatoes and green peas and cook for 5-6 minutes.  Set aside to cool.
Remove the filo pastry from the packaging and cover with a slightly damp cloth to prevent the pastry from drying out.

Lightly brush the top of each parcel with melted butter and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
Eat Serve hot or cold with a mixed green leaf and radish salad.Tip:Make the filling the day before and store in the refrigerator until required.
