Spinach Feta Filo Wrap v 2.0

I made a new version of an old favorite of mine the other day. I must admit I think they weren’t just the new, but also improved version.

I used (for three wraps, which was just right for 2 people):

9 filo wraps

1 clove garlic

200 g feta cheese

200 g defrosted frozen spinach

50 g of butter (I didn’t use all of it, though)

  1. Mix the garlic, spinach and feta cheese in a food processor.
  2. Melt the butter.
  3. Put three layers of filo dough on top of each other, brushing each layer with melted butter before adding the next.
  4. Put a couple of tablespoons of filling on each and fold into a roll.
  5. Brush the wraps with a little butter and put them in the oven at 175 ° C (325 °F) for about 20 minutes.

Red Curry Rice Cakes

I love tod man plaa – you know the spicy thai fish cakes that you eat with a cucumber relish as a starter? But since I became a vegetarian, those are a thing of the past. But today when I had some left-over rice, I used them as inspiration for making these rice patties.

To make about 12 of them you need:

about 5 dl boiled rice (about 2 cups)

3 tsb red curry paste

1 spring onion

2 tsp fish sauce (not vegetarian, I know, but I can’t make Thai-ish food without it. If you must, try some soy instead)

juice from 1/2 lime

1/2 tsp sugar

2 eggs

oil for frying

  1. Mix curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, eggs and sugar.
  2. Add the rice.
  3. Heat the oil in a pan and click about 2 tbs of the rice mix for each rice cake.
  4. Let them fry for about 5 min before turning them and then 2-3 more minutes on the other side.

Serve with cucumber relish as a main course or a starter.
