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 . . . . .
