Filo pastry and gorgonzola combine with chilli for these unusual spring rolls in the celebrity week of Come Dine With Me.

Ingredients

  • 1 package of filo pastry
  • 1 jar of pitted Sicilian black olives (the oily shrivelled ones)
  • A nice wedge of sharp gorgonzola cheese
  • Baby plum tomatoes (about to big handfuls)
  • Fresh wild rocket
  • 1 egg yolk or more if you need it!
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Chilli flakes

Method: How to make Italian spring rolls

1. Take one layer of the pastry and brush with some olive oil (sparingly) then place another sheet on top , this is to make the rolls stronger to hold the mixture. Chop the tomatoes and drain the juice. Chop the olives then mix with the cheese until you have a lumpy mixture of the tomatoes, olives and cheese.

2. Take a spoonful of the mixture, some fresh rocket and a sprinkle of chilli flakes and place on the top third of the sheet, fold over the pastry once then the sides in and glue down with some egg yolk and roll until shut. Glue end down with more egg yolk and set aside. Once all your rolls are assembled deep fry in corn or vegetable oil and serve on a bed of the remaining rocket and drizzle with a good balsamic vinegar.
