PHOODIE’S ‘LOTSA’
VEGETABLE AND
GOATS CHEESE
SPRING ROLLS
Food blogger Phoodie
shares this delicious
recipe for veggie-packed
spring rolls.

What you’ll need:
4 carrots, diced
8 medium sized mushrooms, diced
1 eggplant, diced
1 leek, chopped finely
1/2 cauliflower, chopped into small pieces
1/2 pumpkin, chopped into small pieces
1 brown onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 packet filo pastry
320g goat cheese (I use the Meredith Dairy in
EVOO blend with garlic and thyme)

Makes: approximately 40

How to make them:
1. Dice all vegetables.
2. Place everything (except brown onion, leek and garlic) in a food
processor and blitz to a pulp.
3. In a pan on medium heat fry off the leek, onion and garlic until
translucent.
4. Add the vegetables to the translucent onion mix and cook until all
vegetables are soft (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and
strain over a sink to get rid of water.
5. In a bowl, add goat cheese to the mix and stir until well combined.
I use three quarters of the oil from the Meredith Dairy container
because it is so flavoursome. If you don’t buy this brand then make
sure to add a splash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and some herbs to
create your own mix.
6. I would advise you to make two spring rolls per one sheet of filo as
opposed to one spring roll per sheet. To do so, cut the film sheet in
half, lengthways, and roll one spring roll down one side, and
another on the other side. Don’t worry if you don’t use the whole
packet of filo, as it lasts in the fridge for quite some time (though
do check dates on the packet before use).
7. Place spring rolls onto baking paper lined tray and brush with
EVOO.
8. Cook in a pre-heated 180°C oven for approximately 15 to 20
minutes, until golden and crispy.

Note: To freeze, separate rows of spring rolls with a sheet of baking
paper and place into a tupperware container. They can freeze for up to
three months and can go straight from the freezer to the oven.
