Fried feta parcels with honey
SERVES 2 READY IN 15 MIN
● Vegetable oil, for frying ● 200g block of feta cheese, cut into quarters ● 1 sheet of filo pastry (about 480 x 250mm), cut into quarters ● 2 heaped tablespoons clear honey
1 Heat a frying pan over a medium heat, pour in about 1cm vegetable oil and bring to frying temperature (the oil must not be too hot: add a little piece of filo pastry – if it bubbles gently the oil is hot enough, if it sizzles aggressively the oil is too hot).
2 Line a plate with a double layer of kitchen paper. Wrap each rectangle of feta in a piece of filo and use a little oil or water to seal the seam on the underside.
3 Gently lay the parcels in the hot oil, seam-side down, and fry them for a couple of minutes until you see the pastry on the underside turn golden and bubble up a little. Then very carefully turn the parcels over and fry the other side until crisp and golden brown.
4 Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and transfer to the paper-lined plate to drain, then serve on a plate drizzled with the honey.
