Elevate your dinner party with zesty Chilli, spinach, and feta filo cigars, a collaboration between Lemnos and the Taste team.
Ingredients:
  • 1 bunch English spinach, rinsed, drained
  • 20g butter
  • 1 leek, pale section only, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 180g Traditional Fetta, crumbled
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
  • 12 sheets filo pastry, halved lengthways
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C. Saute the spinach in a large frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out excess liquid using your hands, then finely chop and transfer to a bowl.
  • In a medium frying pan over medium heat, melt butter. Cook leek, stirring, for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in chili and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat; mix with spinach, feta, and egg until combined.
  • Brush a filo sheet with a touch of butter. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture onto one end of the filo. Fold in the sides and roll up to seal the filling. Brush with butter and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Repeat with the rest of the filo, spinach mixture, and caraway seeds. Transfer to a baking tray.
  • Place in a preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes until beautifully golden. Serve either warm or at room temperature.
