Camembert Parcels with Redcurrants
Ingredients
1 pc camembert round 8 pc filo pastry sheets sq redcurrants sq blackcurrants sq melted butter
Method
* Cut the camembert round into two, horizontally, so you have two rounds
* Lay a sheet of filo pastry on the workbench and brush lightly with melted butter
* Lay another sheet on top and repeat using four sheets (do not brush the last sheet with butter)
* Place a camembert round in the middle and top with fresh redcurrants
* Very lightly brush the pastry with water and bring up the edges of the pastry and pinch together just above the centre of the camembert to make a parcel
* Repeat with the other sheets and half of the camembert
* The outside may be brushed with butter if wished
* Bake at 200°C until the pastry is a golden brown (approx. 10 minutes) or deep fry if preferred
* Remove and serve with a sprig of red and black currants on the side of the plate
* A good tangy fruit sauce, coulis or purée would go very well with this dish
Chef's Note:
Replace the camembert with brie, feta or your favourite blue cheese
Replace the redcurrants with cranberries, fresh or tinned.
Enjoy and bon appetit . . . . .
