Turkish

Absolutely divine, irresistible delicate thin rolls of phyllo pastry, crispy on the outside and oozing with melting cheese. Incredibly "more-ish" finger food.

Time 30m

Yield 24 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 sheets phyllo pastry
300 g feta cheese
1 cup parsley, chopped
oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, mash the feta cheese and mix in the chopped parsley.
  • Divide the cheese mixture into 24 equal portions.
  • Lay out the phyllo sheets and cut them into a total of 24 triangles (the easiest way to lay them on top of other, cut from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock, then from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock, then divide up each quarter into 4 triangles- but I'm sure experienced pizza makers have a much more scientific method!).
  • To roll your "cigarettes", put a portion of cheese at the wide end of a triangle, then fold in the edges to seal the cheese in before rolling it all up; you can seal the very tip of your roll with a little water.
  • When all the rolls have been assembled, deep fry them until they are golden and crispy.
  • Serve freshly fried.
