Easy Pastry Wraps With Feta, Fennel, Chestnut, Mushroom, Ginger, And Dill
- olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh milled black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed
- 2 tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger
- 1 cup chopped white mushrooms
- 1 cup chopped fennel bulb
- 1 yellow onion, chopped finely
- 1 slice of pancetta, chopped, optional
- 1 cup peeled, roasted chestnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts, canned
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
- 24 triangular pastry leaves (11" long by 8" at widest width)
- 18 ounces Bulgarian sheep's feta
- 24 ounces dipping sauce and fresh herbs for serving
- Lightly coat the bottom of a saute pan with olive oil and heat. Add the spices. Lightly saute the mushrooms, onions, optional pancetta, and fennel. Add the chopped roasted chestnuts and water chestnuts. Add a dash of salt. Let cool off a bit.
- Take out the pastry leaves and line them up. Very lightly brush a touch of olive oil on each one. Divide the saute mix among the leaves, placing a large spoonful on the wide end of the triangle. Add a crumple of feta (3/4 oz. @) to each. Sprinkle the fresh herbs on top.
- Roll the triangles up distributing the filling. Brush very lightly with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. In a 350 degree oven bake about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with a garnish of fresh herbs and a dipping sauce of your choice. I suggest a soy sauce mixed with rice wine vinegar and fresh ginger (use a 3:1 ratio of soy to vinegar) or a hoisin sauce.
