This is a really simple goat’s cheese starter.

– Use North African brick pastry sheets. If you can’t find them, filo pastry should also work.
– Cut each round brick sheet in half and fold each half lengthwise to obtain a long strip. If you are using rectangular sheets of pastry, cut into strips.
– There are many many techniques of folding samosa shaped triangles. The best technique I know of can be seen here on the right (thanks to youtube)
– Place a thin slice of tomato and a slice of goats cheese into your pastry packet

– Seal well with melted butter
– Brush all over with more melted butter
– Brown in a hot oven for ten minutes or fry with some oil in a pan. You can also deep fry these samosas, they only need a few minutes before turning a lovely golden brown colour.
– Serve on top of a salad (I use roquette or young spinach leaves)
– Sprinkle with a little balsamic vinaigrette
