- Ingredients
- 1 phyllo pastry (filo)
- 5 Tbsps olive oil
- 1 Red onion (finely chopped)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground Black pepper

Preparation
Kitchen utensils
1 Pot, 1 Bowl, 1 Measuring cups, 1 Cutting board, 1 Large knife, 1 Teaspoon, 1 Peeler, 1 Sieve, 1 Fine-mesh sieve, 1 Slotted spoon, 1 Ladle, 1 Cleaver, 1 Jar, 1 Freezer bag, 1 Funnel
Preparation steps
1.
Preheat the oven to 180°C | 350F | gas mark 4. Lightly grease a baking tray.
2.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the onion for 5 minutes. Add the oregano, salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Stir in the crumbled feta and set aside to cool.
3.
Mix the remaining olive oil with the melted butter in a small bowl.
4.
Using a sharp knife or scissors cut the dough lengthwise into 6 cm | 2.5" wide strips. Cover the strips of dough with a clean damp cloth to to prevent them drying out and becoming brittle. Place one strip on a flat surface and brush lightly with the melted butter and oil mixture, then place a level tablespoon of the feta filling at one end. Fold the end of the strip over the filling so that it forms a triangle shape. Continue folding, until you have a completely sealed triangular-shaped parcel. Brush the outside lightly with the oil mixture. Repeat the process until you have used all the feta filling.
5.
Place the parcels on the baking tray and cook for 20-25 minutes until golden. Serve hot or cold.
