• Brush one side of the pastry with melted butter, stopping 5cm from each edge. Add crushed pistachio and then sprinkle AdVital Powder, again keeping 5cm from the edges clear.
• Roll a sheet of foil to create a thin stick. Using foil stick, starting at the base, roll filo to form sarma. Remove the stick. Using a sharp knife, cut both edges to fit the dimensions of the baking dish, then cut into smaller tube shapes all the way to the bottom of the tray. Brush each side with melted butter to prevent from drying out.
