2oz (60g) butter, melted extra

1 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese

2.Cut filo sheets in half, place 3 sheets on counter, cover remaining pastry with greaseproof paper, then a damp cloth to prevent drying. Brush 1 sheet of pastry with extra butter, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, top with another sheet of pastry, brush with butter, sprinkle with more cheese. Repeat with last sheet of pastry.

3.Place tablespoons of carrot mixture on one end of pastry, fold in sides and roll up like a Swiss roll. Repeat with remaining pastry and pulp mixture. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
