    Chilli Jam and Brie Filo Parcel Canapes

    by Joe Allen

    Ingredients:1 pack of brie 1 jar of SDCF Chilli Jam 1 pack of ready rolled filo pastry Olive oil or melted butter Preparation:Pre-heat oven to 180°C or Gas Mark 4. Make the parcels by placing a sheet of filo pastry on the work surface (keep the remaining sheets covered in cling film). Brush the sheet of pastry with a little olive oil or melted butter.Cut the pastry into squares (about 12cm or 15cm square).Place three squares on top of each other, at an angle to make a star shape (oil side up) Place a small piece of brie in the centre of each square, top with a little chilli jam and then another piece of brie. Fold the pastry up around the filling and scrunch the top so it holds together. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pastry is golden brown and crisp. For a variation, add a little bit of cooked bacon or chorizo to each parcel with the Chilli Jam, or try using goats cheese or feta cheese. Another variation is to make open filo parcels/tart cases - use half size pastry squares pushed into holes in mini muffin tins.

    Zhoug Fresh Green Chilli Sauce

    by Joe Allen

    Our version of the middle eastern Zhoug green chilli sauce Really fresh tasting with a spicy kick, this sauce is great to accompany BBQ'd or grilled meats, fish or vegetables Ingredients:250g fresh green chillies - 2 bags of green Ring of Fire and 1 bag of Jalapeno is a good mix - vary your chillies, depending on how hot you like it! 1 clove garlic, sliced1 tsp cardomom seeds (husks removed)1 tsp coriander seeds 1 tsp cumin seeds 2 tblsp olive oil juice of 1/2 lemon pinch sea salt Preparation:Wash the chillies, de-stalk them and take out the seeds (using gloves is a good idea to save finger burn), chop them roughly. Dry fry the spices in a frying pan (no oil) on a low heat until lightly toasted (careful not to burn them), then grind a little in a pestle & mortar to soften the seeds. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend until you have a smoothish thick paste - you may need to finish with a stick blender to reduce the chillies to a finer consistency and possibly add a little more lemon juice or olive oil to achieve the consistency and taste you prefer. This should make about 200ml (6 heaped tablespoons) of sauce - enough for 4 - 6 servings.
