Feta parcels with honey and sesame
Serves 4 Starters and mains
Ingredients
- 4 filo pastry sheets
- 200g butter, melted
- 320g feta cheese
- 500ml vegetable oil, to fry
- 2tbsp honey
- 2tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
- 1tsp chopped thyme
Method
Cut the pastry sheets lengthways into three equal strips. Brush both sides of the pastry with butter and layer three sheets on top of one another. Repeat to make four pastry piles.
Divide the feta into four 80g
portions and place on each
sheet. Start folding the pastry
around the feta to form a block.
Fold the sides in as you would
wrap a present and try to tuck
the corners into the parcel.
In a large, heavy-based frying-
pan, heat the oil to medium-hot.
Fry the pastry parcels in the oil
for around 20 seconds on each
side, or until golden brown
and transfer to a plate lined
with kitchen paper to drain off
any excess oil.
Put the feta parcels on a
serving plate, drizzle the honey
over, sprinkle the toasted
sesame seeds on top and
garnish with thyme.
Serve the parcels hot, before the feta can become hard and dry.
