    Lay one phyllo sheet on a clean surface and brush with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Cut into strips, place a spoonful of filling at one end, and fold into triangles. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes.

    Mix uncooked rice, chopped onions, olive oil, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl.
