Ingredients

400 gram fresh ricotta, well drained (see notes)

100 gram feta, crumbled

50 gram baby spinach leaves, finely shredded

1/2 cup finely shredded basil leaves

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 lemon, finely grated zest

2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed, halved

tomato chutney, to serve

Method

1.Preheat oven to very hot, 220°C. Line a large oven tray with baking paper.

2.In a bowl, use a fork to combine ricotta, feta, spinach, basil, onion and zest. Season to taste.

3.Spread a quarter of the ricotta filling down one side of each pastry strip. Roll each up tightly, pressing to secure. Cut each log into 4 even pieces and place on tray, seam side down.

4.Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until cooked through and golden. Serve warm, with chutney.

Before combining the filling ingredients, place ricotta in a sieve to drain for 10-15 minutes. If preferred, cut into 1cm pieces, for great finger food. MAKES 16
