STEP BY STEP
Of the Balsamic
- STEP 01Place the balsamic vinegar, cinnamon stick, star anise, sugar and orange peel in a saucepan. Scrape half of the vanilla bean, removing the seeds with a knife. Add to the vinegar, dropping in the vanilla bean. Boil the syrup until it reaches 110 degrees C and then let it cool down and set.
Of the Grilled Vegetables
- STEP 02Cut the vegetables into slices and stir with the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Grill.
Of the Crispy feta cheese
- STEP 03Cut the feta cheese into thin sticks. Unfold the phyllo pastry and cut in the middle. Place one pastry sheet over the other, after brushing on some olive oil. Place a stick of feta cheese at the bottom of the sheet and wrap, making a roll. Close after brushing a little water with flour on the edges to help it stick.
- STEP 04Deep-fry the feta cheese rolls until golden. Continue by baking for 3-4 minutes in the oven to cook the feta cheese inside.
