1 pack of ready rolled filo pastry
Olive oil or melted butter

METHOD |

3. Brush the sheet of pastry with a little olive oil or melted butter.
4. Cut the pastry into squares (about 12cm or 15cm square).
5. Place three squares on top of each other, at an angle to make a star shape (oil side up).
6. Place a small piece of brie in the centre of each square, top with a little chilli jam and then another piece of brie.
7. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Thai Fish Cakes

INGREDIENTS |

8oz raw skinless fish fillet, mashed with a fork (cod or similar white fish)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 stick lemon grass, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 Hot fresh chilli such as Ring of Fire, Serrano or Aji Limon, chopped (or use dried Piri Piri or de Arbol if out of season)
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 egg
2 tbsp corn flour

METHOD |

1. Mix all ingredients together either by hand or in a food processor.
2. Form into small fish cakes.
3. Shallow or deep fry for about 10 mins until golden and cooked through.

Aubergine & Black Garlic Humous

INGREDIENTS |

1 aubergine
1 tbsp Hawkshead Relish Black Garlic Ketchup
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp tahini paste
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 eggs, hard boiled
Juice of half a lemon

METHOD |

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
2. Prick the Aubergine and cook in the oven for around 30-40 minutes. Leave to cool then scoop out the middle and discard the skin.
3. Place all the ingredients in a food blender along with the scooped out cooled Aubergine. Blitz to combine all the flavours, but not too long so that it doesn’t go too smooth, you want a bit of texture.
4. Check the seasoning. You can add some chilli flakes as well if you like the added heat, although the raw garlic will provide a punch.
5. Serve with Pitta Bread as a dip or with carrot, celery and cucumber sticks.
