Ingredients

4 sheets filo pastry

15g butter, melted

5 tsp mild olive oil

4 tsp pistachios

100g Asda Greek Feta Cheese

Dried apricots

4 tsp Asda Extra Special Apricot Conserve

Watercress, to serve

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Cut out 8 squares (19cm in size) of filo pastry and put them on a tray covered with a clean, damp tea towel to stop them drying out. Mix the butter and olive oil together in a small bowl.
2
Lay a filo square in a bowl and brush with the melted butter mixture, then place another square on top at an angle. Brush with more butter mixture.
3
Crumble the feta and put a quarter of it in the middle of the filo. Roughly chop the pistachios. Chop an apricot and add to the feta with a teaspoon each of conserve and pistachios.
4
Fold the pastry squares up over the filling and gently twist the top to secure it. Place the parcel on a baking tray and brush the outside of the pastry with the butter mixture.
5
Repeat to make another three parcels. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Serve hot with some watercress.
