The Art Of Spiral Filo Pastry: A Spectacular Visual Technique
The winter vegetable soufra is distinguished by a stunning architecture that transforms simple sheets of filo pastry into a spiral structure of rare elegance. The technique relies on methodical layering: each pair of sheets, brushed with olive oil between layers, is pleated like an accordion before being rolled into a snail shape in the center of the 30 cm round dish. This approach, far from being purely aesthetic, creates airy meanders where the vegetables will be nestled.
