Ingredients
- 1 cucumber
- 1 brick pastry packet ready-made filo pastry
- 12 peppercorns Red Malabar pepper, Shichuan pepper or any flavored pepper or seed of jour choice
- 4 to 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 gr goat cheese fresh
- 20 mint leaves or citronella
- 1 handful of pumpkin seeds optional
- Salt
Instructions
- Start by preparing the filling. Heating olive oil and peppercorns in a saucepan at medium heat.
- Meanwhile, wash, peel and finely cube cucumber. Cut cucumber into 3 or 4 sections, then into 4 lengthwise in order to easily remove seeds. Then cube cucumber (cubes of ½ cm).
- Fry cubes of cucumber for about ten minutes in olive oil, stirring occasionally. Pour salt.
- Let it rest on a plate covered with paper towels that will absorb fat excess.
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Finely chop the citronella or mint.
- Finally assemble the different ingredients in ½ filo pastry sheet : either do the shape you wish or wrap the way it is done for samosa. Each time, put 1 to 2 teaspoons of cucumber, a small piece of goat cheese, some fresh herb strips and a few pumpkin seeds. You may stick the pastry sheet with fat (oil or melted butter).
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden (with the grill position for the last few minutes if needed).
