Souvlaki Spiced Feta Parcels with Lemon Honey Drizzle

Crisp, golden shards of filo giving way to warm, salty feta soft at the centre, fragrant with oregano, garlic and sun-warmed spice. These little parcels feel like something you’d eat with your fingers by the sea by my home in Weymouth, flaky pastry scattering in the breeze, a sharp squeeze of lemon cutting through the richness, honey catching the light as it falls.

That crisp exterior gives way to a spiced salty, cheesy inetrior, soul food in abite…

The lemon honey drizzle ticks the remaining boxes, sweet, tangy and utterly moreish..

One parcel will never be enough..

One to make and savour with friends and family…

Souvlaki Spiced Feta Parcels with Lemon Honey Drizzle

Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 19 MinTotal time: 39 Min

Crisp, golden shards of filo giving way to warm, salty feta soft at the centre, fragrant with oregano, garlic and sun-warmed spice. These little parcels feel like something you’d eat with your fingers by the sea by my home in Weymouth, flaky pastry scattering in the breeze, a sharp squeeze of lemon cutting through the richness, honey catching the light as it falls.

Ingredients

For the Parcels

• 200g block feta (cut into 8 large cubes)
• 6 sheets filo pastry
• 60g unsalted butter, melted (or olive oil)

For the Souvlaki Spice Blend

• 1tbsp Olives Et Al Souvlaki Spice Blend
• OR
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp garlic granules
• Zest of ½ lemon
• Freshly cracked black pepper

Lemon Honey Drizzle

• 3 tbsp runny honey
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

1. Pat the feta dry and cut into 8 chunky cubes. In a small bowl, mix together all the souvlaki spices and lemon zest. Gently roll each piece of feta in the spice mix so it’s well coated.
2. Lay out the filo sheets and cut each one lengthways into 3 long strips. Keep them covered with a damp cloth so they don’t dry out.
3. Brush a strip lightly with melted butter. Place a cube of spiced feta at one end, then fold into triangles until sealed. Brush the outside with more butter. Repeat with all pieces.
4. Place the parcels on a lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C (fan 160°C) for 18–22 minutes, until deeply golden and shatteringly crisp.
5. Warm the honey slightly so it loosens, then stir in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
6. As soon as the parcels come out of the oven, drizzle generously with the lemon honey. Serve warm, sprinkled with a little extra of the spice mix.
