Instructions

Chip, Chip, Hooray
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).

Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. 

When the oven is hot, bake on the middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Cheese Please
2

Meanwhile, boil a full kettle. 

Grate the Cheddar cheese and crumble the Greek style salad cheese, then add both to a medium bowl.

Pop the spinach into a colander in your sink. Pour over the boiling water from your kettle until wilted and piping hot. Once wilted, squeeze out all of the excess water from the spinach with the back of a spoon.

Stir the spinach, red pepper chilli jelly and sun-dried tomato paste into the cheese. Mix well until combined, then season with pepper.

Make the Rolls
3

Unroll the filo sheets (see ingredients for amount, 2 per person) and fold each sheet in half widthways to create a rectangle.

Spoon the mixture along one end of each rectangle, leaving a 2cm border around the bottom 3 edges. 

Neatly fold both lengthway sides over the filling, then tightly roll them up to enclose the filling.

Time to Bake
4

Transfer your sigara böreği, seam side down onto a lined, large baking tray.

Brush with a little oil, sprinkle over the sesame seeds, then bake on the top shelf until golden brown, 10-15 mins.

Final Touches
5

Whilst the sigara böreği bake, in a medium bowl, combine the cider vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.

Just before everything's ready, toss the rocket through the dressing.

Serve
6

Share the spanakopita inspired sigara böreği between your plates.

Serve the rocket salad and chips alongside with mayo for dipping (see pantry for amount).

Finish by drizzling honey (see pantry for amount) over the sigara böreği.

Enjoy!
