Phyllo Triangles with Fennel, Onions, Olives, and Orange

No ratings yet
These Phyllo Triangles with Fennel, Onions, Olives, and Orange embody the generous spirit of Greek hospitality—small bites made with care, meant to be offered freely and enjoyed slowly. Featured in My Greek Table Season 5: Flavors of Longevity, episode Hospitality on the Plate, they highlight how shared snacks, conversation, and ritual contribute just as much to longevity as nutrition itself. Crisp phyllo encases a fragrant filling of fennel, sweet onions, olives, and citrus zest, creating a balance of savory and bright flavors. Baked rather than fried, these triangles are well suited to plant-forward Mediterranean eating and to gatherings where food brings people together.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and fennel and cook until soft and lightly golden. Stir in the olives and orange zest. Season with salt and pepper and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the phyllo sheets into 3-inch-wide strips.
  • Place a small amount of filling at the bottom of each strip. Fold into triangles, as you would fold a flag.
  • Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and bake until golden brown, 15–20 minutes.

Nutrition & Tips
• Social food: These are ideal finger foods—perfect for passing, sharing, and eating communally.
• Flavor balance: Orange zest lifts the savory filling and complements fennel beautifully.
• Serving: Best served warm, but also excellent at room temperature for gatherings.
