Feta Packets

Ingredients

• 300 g red cabbage
• 1 tart apple (e.g., Boskoop)
• 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 4 tbsp Canadian maple syrup (dark robust taste)
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• 200 g feta (45% fat in total)
• 4 sprigs thyme
• 4 sheets phyllo dough (30 x 30 cm)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Clean, wash and finely grate the red cabbage. Wash the apple, quarter it, remove the core and roughly grate it. Mix both with apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper, and let rest for about 15 minutes.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile cut the feta into four pieces. Wash the thyme, shake off excess water and pluck the leaves. Lay two phyllo sheets on a board, cut each in half lengthwise. Place feta on each half, drizzle with 1 tsp maple syrup and sprinkle with thyme leaves. Fold into packets.

3. 3.

   Place the feta packets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with remaining olive oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan; gas: level 3) for about 15–20 minutes until golden brown.

4. 4.

   Arrange the marinated apple-red cabbage salad with the warm feta packets on plates and drizzle the packets with remaining maple syrup.
