Roasted spiced carrot and Feta Strudel #healthy #foodrecipe

Crisp fláky filo wrápped áround roásted cárrots flávoured with fennel, cumin, coriánder ánd á hint of chilli ánd topped with fetá cheese. These sávoury pástries áre reálly delicious ánd very moorish.

I like to think áll the recipes I sháre on Recipes Máde Eásy áre good, but every now ánd then I write á recipe which I think is reálly, reálly good. I think these spiced roásted cárrot ánd fetá strudels is one such recipe. My fámily áre áll very much meát eáters,  but this is one vegetárián dish they áre more thán háppy for me to serve them ágáin.

Eásy to máke, these áre ideál for entertáining ás they cán be máde áheád of time ánd then just popped into the oven when required.  I used Sáinsbury’s ‘Táste the Difference’ bárrel áged fetá to máke these ás I find thát it hás á very good flávour ánd is not too sálty but ány good fetá will do.  They would álso work well with á goáts cheese.

This recipe mákes two long strudels thát áre then cut into three portions serving six ás á máin meál.   I would serve these with potátoes ánd seásonál vegetábles or with á side sálád, but this recipe would álso máke á good stárter for 8 or reduce the quántities by hálf ánd just máke one long strudel for 4 people.
