Feta Phyllo Turnovers (Fresh Marjoram, Honey & Pistachio Sprinkle)

Jamie Oliver
Total Time 20 minutes
Course Dessert
Cuisine Cypriot
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 sheets of phyllo pastry
  • 7 ounces feta cheese
  • 1/2 a bunch of (1/2 oz) marjoram
  • 1 ounce shelled unsalted pistachios
  • Liquid honey, to serve

Instructions
 

  • Lay a sheet of phyllo on a damp kitchen towel and brush lightly with olive oil. Crumble a quarter of the feta across one side of the pastry, leaving a 1 ¼-inch gap around the edges, and pick over a quarter of the marjoram leaves. Carefully fold over the phyllo, press the edges to seal, then fold in half again, pressing down gently to secure. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  • Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat with a splash of olive oil, add the phyllo parcel and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and crisp, then transfer to a serving plate. Meanwhile, bash or roughly chop the pistachios. Drizzle the parcel with honey and scatter over a quarter of the pistachios. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients, serving each parcel as soon as it’s ready.
