This Feta Filo Turnovers Recipe Is From 5 Ingredients Mediterranean Cookbook by Jamie Oliver.
Ingredients Needed:
- 4 sheets of filo pastry
- 200g feta cheese
- ½ bunch of marjoram (10g)
- 25g shelled unsalted pistachios
- Runny honey (to serve)
How To Cook This Feta Filo Turnovers:
- Prepare the filo sheet: Lay one sheet of filo pastry on a damp tea towel and brush it lightly with olive oil.
- Add the feta and marjoram: Crumble a quarter of the feta cheese onto one side of the filo, leaving a 3cm gap around the edges. Scatter a quarter of the marjoram leaves over the feta.
- Fold the filo: Fold the filo sheet over the filling, press the edges to seal, and then fold in half again, pressing gently to secure.
- Cook the filo parcel: Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat with a splash of olive oil. Place the filo parcel in the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
- Garnish and serve: Transfer the cooked parcel to a serving plate. Roughly chop or crush the pistachios. Drizzle the parcel with honey and sprinkle a quarter of the pistachios on top. Repeat the process for the remaining ingredients, serving each turnover as soon as it’s ready.
Recipe Tips
- Keep the filo pastry moist: Lay the filo on a damp tea towel to prevent it from drying out while you work.
- Crumble the feta evenly: Spread the feta evenly across the filo for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Seal the edges well: Press the edges of the filo firmly to ensure the turnovers don’t open while cooking.
- Use medium heat: Cook the turnovers on medium heat for a crispy and golden finish without burning.
- Serve immediately: These turnovers are best enjoyed fresh and hot, as they lose crispness if left out for too long.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
Store: Allow the Feta Filo Turnovers to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Reheat: To reheat, place the turnovers in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy again.
Avoid using the microwave, as it will make the filo soft and lose its crispiness.
