ASABE ZAINAB

Duilleagan pastraidh filo

125 càise mozzarella
1 spàinn-bheag càrdamon mìn
2 spàinn-mhòr flùr air a mheasgachadh le 1 spàinn-mhòr bùrn gus taois a dhèanamh
1 liotair ola glasraich airson fraidhigeadh

ASABE ZAINAB

Filo pastry sheets
125g Ricotta cheese
125g Mozarella cheese
1 tsp ground cardamom
2 tbsp of flour mixed with 1 tbsp water to form a paste.
1 litre vegetable oil for frying


SIORAP SIÙCAIR

450g siùcar castair
250ml bùrn
Bloigh/staimean cròch-dhearg
3 sìl càrdamoin

• Tòisich le bhith a’ dèanamh an t-siorap siùcair. Feumaidh seo a bhith fuar mun àm a thig e gu bhith a’ fraidhigeadh am pastraidh.
• Cuir gritheidean an t-sioraip ann an aon phana agus cuir air teas àrd.
• Measgaich gus an tig an t-siorap chun a’ ghoil.
• Ìslich gu teas meadhanach ìosal airson 10 mionaidean eile, gus a bheil an t-siùcar air leaghadh uile gu lèir agus gus am fàs an t-siorap nas tìghe. Ma thathas a’ cleachdadh teas-mhèidh, thathas ag iarraidh gum bi e aig 110C (230F).
• Thoir an t-siorap far an teas agus leig leis fuarachadh a rèir teas an t-seòmair.

SUGAR SYRUP

450g castor sugar
250ml water
Pinch/strand of saffron
3 cardamom pods

• Begin by making the sugar syrup (you’ll need this to be cold by the time it comes to frying the pastry).
• In a saucepan, combine all the syrup ingredients and place on a high heat.
• Keep stirring till the syrup starts boiling.
• Reduce the temperature to a medium to low heat for a further 10 minutes, until all the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has become slightly golden and thicker. If you are using a thermometer, you are looking for a temperature of 110°C (230°F).
• Remove the syrup from the heat and allow it to cool at room temperature.

AIRSON NA CORRAGAN PASTRAIDH

• Stiall am mozzarella na phìosan beaga agus measgaidh leis an ricotta agus an càrdamon mìn.
• Measgaich le chèile agus fàg gu aon taobh.
• Sgaoil na duilleagan pastraidh fa leth air a chèile agus còmhdaich le clobhd fliuch gus nach tiormaich am pastraidh.

FOR THE PASTRY FINGERS

• Shred the mozzarella into tiny pieces and then combine them with the ricotta and the ground cardamom.
• Mix it all together and place to one side.
• Separate the pastry sheets and keep them wrapped in a damp cloth to ensure that they don’t dry out.
  
  

Airson am pastraidh a roiligeadh

• Gabh aon duilleag pastraidh.
• Measgaich a’ chàis còmhla agus cuir mu ¾ spàinn-bheag dhen chaise aig a’ bhonn (fàg beàrn air oir a’ phastraidh)
• Dèan cinnteach gu bheil am pastraidh sa mheadhan, no ’s dòcha gun spùt e a-mach na cliathaichean nuair a thathas ga roileadh.
• Gus an roiligeadh a thòiseachadh, an toiseach cuir an dà oisean dhan mheadhan gus triantan a dhèanamh (mar gum biodh dol a dhèanamh itealan pàipeir), gus a bheil a’ chaise air a’ chòmhdach.
• An uairsin, gu cùramach, paisg an oisean aig bonn an triantain agus roilig suas chun an fhìor mhullach.
• Nuair a ruigeas tu am mullach, fàg beàrn beag. Cuir do chorrag dhan taois fhlùr agus cleachd sin gus glaodh a dhèanamh dhan phastraidh. Ni seo cinnteach nach fhosgail am pastraidh nuair a thèid a bhruich.
• Dèan an aon rud leis a’ chòrr dhen a’ phastraidh.

To roll the fingers

• Take one sheet of pastry.
• Mix the cheese together and place about ¾ tsp of the cheese mixture at the bottom (leave a slight edge to grab the pastry).
• Make sure your cheese is in the centre, otherwise some of it may escape when it comes to rolling the pastry.
• To begin the roll, first turn both corners into the middle to form a triangle (as if you are about to create a paper airplane) so that the cheese is covered.
• Next, carefully take the bottom corner of the triangle and fold it over tightly. Then continue to roll all the way to the top.
• When you get to the top, leave a slight edge. Take your finger, dip it into the flour paste, rub it along the end part of your pastry and seal it across. This will ensure that the fingers don’t unravel when they are frying.
• Repeat the steps above for the rest of the fingers.
  
  

A’ fraidhigeadh a’ phastraidh

• Nuair a thathar a’ cleachdadh pastraidh filo no samosa, feumar a fhraidhigeadh ann an ola fhuar a thèid teth. Tha seo a’ dèanamh cinnteach gun tig gach duilleag a-mach criospach.
• Lìon wok meadhanach mòr le ola (na cleachd pana mòr or bu chòir dhan ola bhith domhainn)
• Cuir na corragan pastraidh dhan ola, a’ dèanamh cinnteach nach cuir thu cus ann còmhla. An uairsin cuir suas an teas.
• Nuair a thòisicheas dath a’ tighinn air na corragan, cuir an teas sìos beagan gus dèanamh cinnteach gun tèid am bruich gu ceart. Cùm ort a bhith gan tionndadh gus an tig dath òr orra.
• Cho luath ’s a tha iad deiseil, cuir air pàipear-cidsin gus an ola a bharrachd a shùghadh.
• An uairsin cuir dhan t-siorap iad le cùram agus measgaich gus a bheil iad air an deagh chòmhdach. Sgeadaich le cnothan-almoin air an tostadh agus sìol gràn-ubhail.
• Ith sa bhad.

Frying the fingers

• When using filo or samosa pastry you’ll need to fry from cold to hot oil. This ensures that all the layers come out crispy and also retain their crispiness.
• Fill a medium sized wok or sauce with oil (don't use a big pan as you want the oil to be deep).
• Place the fingers in the oil, making sure not to put too many in the pan together. Then turn the heat up high.
• Once the fingers begin to brown, reduce the heat slightly to ensure that they cook evenly. Keep turning them until they are completely golden.
• As soon as they are ready, turn them onto some kitchen roll to soak up excess oil.
• Then carefully drop them into the syrup and mix until they are fully coated. Sprinkle toasted almonds and pomegranate seeds over the top.
• Serve straight away.
