Ingredients
 
 

  • 200 g feta cheese
  • 125 ml Greek yoghurt
  • 1 large garlic clove grated
  • Juice of ½ lemon to taste
  • 500 g asparagus (about 5 or 6 per bundle)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 puff pastry sheet approx 320g / 11 ounces
  • 25 g parmesan-style cheese grated
  • 1 egg or alternative (see note 1)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F

  • Crumble the feta into a bowl and mash roughly with the yoghurt, garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside.

  • Snap off the asparagus woody ends and discard them.
    500 g asparagus
  • If you have any thick asparagus stalks, cut them in half lengthwise.
  • Toss the asparagus stalks in olive oil and thyme
    1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Roll out the puff pastry sheet to approximately 35 x 23 cm (14 x 9 inches) and cut it into 6 equal squares. Spread each square slightly apart so the bundles are easy to fold.
    1 puff pastry sheet
  • Share the feta mixture evenly between the squares by placing a heaped tablespoon of the mixture in the middle of each square.
  • Share the asparagus stalks equally between each square by placing them on top of the feta (you should have between 5 or 6 stalks in each bundle).
  • Sprinkle some parmesan on top.
    25 g parmesan-style cheese
  • Beat the egg with one tablespoon of water.
    1 egg
  • Brush the pastry of each square with the egg wash.
  • Fold two of the corners on either side of the filling and wrap the bundles tightly. Press gently so that the pastry corners stick together.
  • Brush each bundle all over with some more beaten egg.
  • Cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the asparagus are cooked and the pastry is golden.
  • Serve hot or warm.

Notes

Note 1: instead of the  egg wash you can use
  • Vegan egg wash: Mix together 1 Tbsp melted dairy-free butter, 1 tsp dairy-free milk, and1 tsp maple syrup.
