Black Olive and Halloumi Filo Cigars (sigara boregi)
Calories:
Ingredients
- 250 g halloumi cheese, cut into 1/2 cm dice (~ 2 cups when diced)
- 2 tbsp black olives, roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Black pepper
- ~ 14 pieces of filo pastry (mine measured 8 x 11 inches)
- Spray oil or melted butter
Instructions
- Combine the diced halloumi, black olives, and herbs in a large bowl, and mix well. Season with black pepper (you won't need salt as the halloumi is quite salty).
- Lay out a rectangle of filo pastry (mine measured around 8 x 11 inches). Spray it lightly with oil or brush with melted butter, and place another piece on top. Spread a couple of tablespoons of the halloumi mixture along one of the short edges. Begin to roll the halloumi in the filo, tucking in the ends every now and then. Place on a lined baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining ingredients (I ended up with 7 cigars).
- Bake at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for around 45 minutes, or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crispy.
