Harissa, feta and filo cigars

Method

1. Heat the oven to 200°C fan/gas 7. Slice the feta block lengthways into 10 strips. Melt the butter in a small pan, then stir in the harissa and take off the heat. Lay the filo pastry sheets on a worktop next to each other and brush the harissa butter all over. Cut each sheet into 5 strips, roughly 1cm wider than the pieces of feta.
2. Sit a piece of feta across one end of a strip of pastry, then roll the pastry around, at a slight angle if need be, until it’s completely covered. Put seam-side down on a baking tray lined with baking paper and brush with more harissa butter, then repeat with the remaining feta and pastry.
3. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then bake for 10 minutes. Drizzle with honey, bake for 2 minutes more, then leave to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
