Chicken Spanakopita Rolls with Walnuts 

Ingredients

FILLING
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) feta cheese crumbles
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dill
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 package (10 ounces) frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1 cup cooked and shredded chicken

ASSEMBLY
20 sheets phyllo dough (about half of a 16-ounce package),
thawed per package instructions
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup finely chopped California walnuts

Preparations

FILLING
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Combine feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, egg, olive oil, dill, salt and red pepper flakes in the large bowl; mix until smooth.

4. Fold in spinach, mozzarella cheese, parsley and shredded chicken. Set aside.

ASSEMBLY
1. To make one roll, lay one sheet of phyllo dough lengthwise facing you. Brush the top sheet with olive oil to cover lightly. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top.
2. Spoon about 1/2 cup of filling mixture the length of the phyllo dough about a 1/2-inch from the edge and an inch thick. Carefully pull up the edge of the phyllo dough and roll over filling away from you. Carefully pick up the roll and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to make 9 more rolls.
3. Brush all rolls with remaining olive oil and bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and flakey. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting each roll into quarters. Serve immediately.

Churros

Ingredients
Coating
•1/4 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar) (55g)
•2 tsp ground cinnamon Churros
•150 g/ 1 cup plain white flour
•1 tsp baking powder
•Pinch of salt
•1 tbsp olive oil or other neutral flavoured oil (not extra virgin olive oil)
•250 ml / 1 cup boiled water
•2 cups+ oil, for frying Chocolate Sauce
•1/2 cup / 100g dark chocolate chips
•1/2 cup / 125 ml thickened cream (heavy cream)

Instructions

 Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl, set aside.
 Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add oil and water and
mix until just combined – it should be a thick batter, like a wet sticky
dough, not thin and watery.
 Transfer dough into a piping bag with a 8mm / 1/3" star tip nozzle.
Let cool while oil heats.
 Heat oil over medium-high in a wok or small but deep skillet, to
170C/340F, or until it takes 20 seconds for a small 1cm / 1/3" a cube of
bread to turn golden.
 Pipe 15 cm / 6" lengths of dough into the oil, snipping with scissors.
Do 3 to 4 per batch, makes 8 to 10 in total.
 Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden, rolling occasionally.
 Remove onto paper towel lined plate to drain. Then roll in sugar.
Serve hot with Chocolate Sauce!

Chocolate Sauce

 Place in a heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring
in between, until smooth.

Recipe Notes

1. Use plain white all-purpose flour, not self-raising flour.
2. Make sure to get chocolate chips for cooking, not chocolate confectionary for eating! It melts smoother.
3. Normally we deep fry in a saucepan. But it's too difficult to snip the dough in a saucepan. To minimise oil required, we like using a wok. Otherwise, a deep small skillet will also work great!
4. MAKE AHEAD: Do not roll in sugar. Allow to cool completely, then store in
airtight container (not in fridge). It will go soft. Reheat in 180C/350F oven for 5
minutes or until crisp, then roll in sugar.
5. GENERAL NOTE: Some people have commented about the absence of sugar in the batter. It isn't needed – the coating adds loads of sweetness, not to mention the dipping sauce!
