Ingredients

  • 3 ounces of cashel blue cheese (1 rectangular slice)
  • 3 ounces monterey jack cheese (1 rectangular slice)
  • 3 ounces gouda cheese (1 rectangular slice)
  • 1 leaf phyllo pastry (6 in sq.)
  • egg wash
  • 2 ounces butter
  • 12 a peeled carrot
  • 12 a peeled parsnip
  • 12 a courgette (otherwise known as zucchini)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch fresh ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsmic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs

Method

  • Make a fine julienne of the vegetables.
  • Stack the three cheese with the Cashel Blue in the middle.
  • Wrap in the Filo Pastry and seal the parcel.
  • Brush with the egg wash.
  • Place in a small heated oven-safe pan that contains a little oil.
  • Let it sit while you prepare the dressing.
  • Broil the parcel for five to seven minutes or until the pastry puffs up and turns a lovely golden brown.
  • Toss the salad in the dressing.
  • To serve, place the salad on the plate like a small hay stack.
  • Arrange the cheese parcel either on top of the veggies or beside them.
  • Note: The jack & gouda replace the original cheeses of Milleens and Durras.
  • Both are extremely hard, if not impossible to find in the U.S.
