Unroll the filo sheets on a flat surface. Take one sheet and lay it out on a clean work surface and brush with butter, repeat two more times, so you have a stack of three buttered sheets.

Cut the stack into eight, 5cm-wide strips. Place one tablespoon of pâté at the end of each strip. Fold the end of the strip over the filling so that it forms a triangle.

Continue folding the strip in triangles until a small, triangular stuffed parcel results. Brush with butter and sprinkle with crushed almonds, place onto a paper lined baking tray. Repeat until the filling is all used. Bake in a preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
