Tandoori Chicken Skewers on a tray with dip.

Gluten Free Tandoori Chicken Skewers

Ingredients
 

  • 250 g ½ lb. good quality feta cheese
  • 250 g ½ lb. cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • small bunch of parsley, dill or mint
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • freshly grated nutmeg
  • 8 sheets filo pastry
  • 50 g ½ stick unsalted butter
  • 50 ml 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • PREPARE: Heat oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas 6. Line tray with baking paper. Melt butter and olive oil together in small saucepan.
  • MAKE FILLING: Stir together all cheese filling ingredients until well combined. The mixture won’t be perfectly smooth so leave it a little lumpy.
  • BUTTER FILO: Lay 1 piece of filo on work top, brush all over with butter and olive oil mixture, place another piece on top and repeat.
  • ROLL PASTRY: Along one long side make a long row of cheese filling. Roll up to form a long tube, then roll into a spiral. Place on prepared baking tray, pat with wet hands, and sprinkle over sesame seeds. Repeat 3 more times with remaining pastry.
  • BAKE: Drizzle over remaining butter and olive oil mixture, then bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and flaky. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm or room temperature.
  • OPTIONAL: For an extra treat, drizzle over a little honey before serving.
