Hints & tips

Helpful Hint

For cocktail parties and bulk catering, supply a bowl of toothpicks or cocktail wooden forks for purposes of food hygiene when dipping.

Instructions

01

Step 1

Cut each feta round equally into 8 wedges.

02

Step 2

Mix enough water into the chilli bite mix, to make a soft dropping consistency.

03

Step 3

Gently heat a pan of sunflower oil to a depth of 3 cm.

04

Step 4

Turn each feta wedge in the chilli bite batter until completely but not too thickly coated, and transfer directly into the hot oil. Fry for 15-20 seconds, turning over once, until the coating is puffy and lightly browned all over.

05

Step 5

Using a slotted spoon, lift out the bites onto crumpled kitchen paper to drain slightly.

06

Step 6

Serve freshly fried with a dipping bowl of SPAR Sweet Chilli sauce.
