Sigara Borek (Cigar Shaped Pastries)


 

Ingredients

  • 1 pkt filo pastry
  • 250 grams feta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 bunch chopped parsley
  • 250 ml sunflower oil

Directions

  1. Break up cheese with a fork. Add egg and chopped parsley and mix well.
  2. Lay out sheets of pastry on a flat surface. Cover with a moistened tea towel.
  3. Cut filo pastry into 3 equal pieces, lengthwise.
  4. Take two layers of pastry and place a teaspoon of the cheese mixture at bottom of pastry. Fold sides and roll pastry into a cigar shape. Lightly wet edges with fingertip to seal any open edges.
  5. Fry pastries in hot oil until golden brown. This is a very quick process so you must work quickly. Drain on absorbent paper and serve.
