step 1
Add the honey (200 g) to a small saucepan along with the garlic (2 cloves). Heat gently for 2 minutes over a low heat then set aside and let infuse.
step 2
Lay down 1 sheet of filo (3 sheets) and cut in half lengthways. Place a strip of cheese (1) at the short end of each piece of pastry and sprinkle with some of the walnuts (25 g). You may have to trim some of the cheese to fit, but simply add any offcuts on top of the strip.
step 3
Stir the flour (1 tsp) into 2 tbsp of water to form a paste. Brush the edges of the pastry and roll them lengthways to form a cigar. Repeat with the remaining ingredients so you have six in total.
step 4
Add the oil (as needed) to a large frying pan so it’s about ¾ full. Heat to 180°C. Carefully fry the cigars for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on kitchen paper.
step 5
Serve drizzled with honey, a spoonful of the chutney (1 jar) and the watercress (80 g) on the side.
