Ingredients

3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 14oz)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese (4oz)

1 cup shredded ricotta salata cheese (4oz)

3 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill

3 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint

3 tbsp finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 large eggs, beaten

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 pack (about 20 sheets) filo pastry, thawed overnight in the refrigerator

1 cup melted clarified butter

Method

1. Position racks in the top third and centre of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. To make the filling: Mix the Monterey Jack cheese, feta, ricotta salata, dill, mint, parsley, eggs, and pepper together in a large bowl.
3. Unroll the filo and stack on the work surface. Cover the filo with a sheet of plastic wrap and a damp kitchen towel to keep it from drying out.
4. Keeping the remaining filo covered, place a filo sheet, with the short side facing you, on the work surface. Using a soft pastry brush, gently brush the filo with melted butter. Using a pizza wheel or a sharp knife, cut the filo into thirds lengthwise.
5. Place a teaspoon of the filling on the bottom of one strip, about 1” from the bottom and slightly off centre. Starting at the right bottom corner of the strip, fold the filo over to cover the filling to meet the opposite long side of the strip. Lightly press down on the filled filo to spread the filling.
6. Fold the filo up, then over to the other side, continuing in a “flag-folding” fashion to form a filled triangle-shaped borag. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining two filo strips. Continue with the remaining filo, filling, and butter, placing the borags about an inch apart on the baking sheets.
7. Brush the tops of the triangles with more melted butter. Bake until the borags are golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Hoppers

6                       Country Range Fresh Free-Range Medium Eggs

1/4 tsp             Country Range Ground Cumin

1 tsp                Country Range Pure Clear Squeezy Honey

200ml              coconut water

1 tsp                yeast

300ml              coconut milk

200g                rice flour

1                      large pinch of salt

 

Onion and Chili salad

50g                  Country Range Tinned Chopped Tomatoes

25g                  finely sliced red onion

1                      small bunch chopped coriander

1                      lime (juice)

1                      quantity of sliced chilis (as hot you like)

Method

1. Heat 100ml of coconut water until tepid. Whisk in the yeast and honey, then leave to stand for 15 minutes. Mix with the coconut milk, then pour it into the rice flour in a large bowl. Whisk until you have a smooth batter. Cover with cling film and leave for 3 hours or overnight in the fridge.
2. Add the last 100ml coconut water to the bowl and whisk well. Season with salt. Leave to stand for 15 mins before using. It should be thinner than a traditional pancake batter.
3. Prepare the salad.
4. Traditionally, the hoppers are cooked in a small, high-sided wok, but you can use a nonstick frying pan instead. Heat your pan, then, as it heats, dip into the oil with a piece of kitchen roll or cloth and use it to briskly rub around the pan. Slowly pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan, tilting it so the batter cooks up the edges of the pan and is distributed in a thin layer.
5. Quickly crack an egg into the base of the pan and cover. Leave to cook for 2.5 minutes, or until the egg is just cooked and the edges of the pancake are starting to brown. Run around the edges with a palette knife and ease onto a plate. Serve with the salad and eat! (Repeat with the remaining mixture and eggs to create more hoppers)
