Ingredients
300 gr phyllo pastry
1 jar YIAM pasteli spoon-sweet
100 gr cracked walnuts
100 gr grated graviera or other hard yellow cheese of your choice
White pepper, coarse ground
Parsley finely chopped
Olive oil or melted butter for the phyllo pastry.
Preparation.
Butter or oil one sheet of phyllo pastry, fold in half for a more rectangular shape and butter again.
Lay on the grated cheese, the roasted cracked walnuts and spread on top one tablespoonful of the pasteli spoon-sweet, well mixed in its syrup.
Sprinkle some of the finely chopped parsley and coarse ground white pepper on top.
Roll the phyllo pastry loosely into the shape of a cylinder while carefully tucking in the ends.
Place in a baking tray, with the “seam” underneath, butter again and bake for 15mins at 170-180 C.
You can modify the ingredients and quantities for a spicier, sweeter, saltier or hotter result.
Ideas to try out : You can add a small quantity of sun-dried tomato pesto or even some finely chopped sweet and hot Florina peppers for more of a gourmet result…!
Serve while hot and dress with a bit more of the pasteli spoon-sweet.
Serve either at the start of a meal with the appetisers or towards the end with the cheeses.
A white Chardonnay from Manolidis winery is an excellent match, but ouzo, tsipouro and other distillates will be fine, even a strong malt or grappa will do very nicely.
