Cheese Rolls
1/2 bunch Flat leaf parsley
1 Red onion, medium sized
1 Egg
1 Egg beaten together with
1 Capsicum pepper, red
1 Sunflower oil
300 g cheese
3 sheets phyllo pastry (yufka)
Take your first yufka triangle and place it on a hard flat surface, pointed end facing away from you.
Place one heaped teaspoonful of your cheese mixture about 1 inch above the wide end of your triangle.
Arrange the cheese mixture into a thin line, leaving a small gap at each side.
Brush the top part of the triangle with your egg mixture.
Fold the wide end over your cheese mixture.
Now fold in the edges at each side so your filling is encased.
Roll the yufka until you get to the top point of your triangle.
Keep doing this until you have used up all of your yufka or filling.
Take a pan for deep frying and heat your sunflower oil.
Fry your sigara böreği in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Remove and leave to drain on kitchen paper.
Serve hot it with tea.
