Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams blackcurrants
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 270 grams filo pastry
  • 400 grams feta ideally 2 x 200g blocks, or cut into 2 equal portions
  • 20 grams butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons hot honey

Method
 

  1. Remove any stalks from the blackcurrants and place in a saucepan with 50 ml water. Put on a medium heat for 10 minutes until they are jammy. Add the sugar, stir, then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  3. Lay the filo pastry sheets out on a work surface. Put one block of feta in the centre of one sheet. Spoon half of the blackcurrant mix over the top of the feta. Brush around the feta with the butter, then fold like a parcel around the feta. Take another sheet of pastry and brush all over with butter, then fold this around the feta like a parcel. Repeat with another sheet of feta.
  4. Do the same with the other piece of feta. You should now have two parcels. Place them on a baking tray and brush with more butter. Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. Remove from the oven, place on a plate and drizzle over the hot honey. Enjoy warm.
