Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Mix the feta with the parsley and the egg.
- Cut the yufka sheets into quarters (for filo, stack two sheets and cut into roughly 12×25 cm strips).
- Place a teaspoon of filling at the wide end of each triangle in a log shape, fold in the two sides, then roll up tightly into a thin cigar.
- Dab the pointed end with a little water and press to seal.
- Heat a finger's depth of oil in a pan, and fry the rolls in batches, turning, for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towel, and serve warm with tea.
