SAGANAKI

SAGANAKI

(GREEK PAN FRIED CHEESE)

100gm saganaki cheese (triangle kefalograviera)

20gm plain flour

30ml ouzo

30ml lemon juice

30ml honey (extra for topping at end)

1 fig (sliced)

Oil for cooking

  1. Begin by making your honey liquid. Place honey, lemon juice and ouzo in a jar and shake super hard to bring together. Leave to the side.

  2. Place a heavy small pan over a high heat. While the pan heats up, add the kefalograviera to the plain flour and cover, before dusting off the excess. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil and then place the floured cheese on top.

  3. Let the cheese sizzle for 2 mins or until you see a caramelised crust start to form around the sides. Using a thin spatula, aggressively push under cheese and flip. Cook for another min before pouring your honey liquid in. Let the liquid cook for half a min before taking it off heat.

  4. Plate up with figs, a drizzle of extra honey and a squeeze of lemon juice. Eat straight away.
