Goat cheese seadas

1 container of goat cheese (i used Sirocco Farms at the winery)

500g all purpose flour

3 eggs

3 tbs lard

1tbs water

Zest of 1 lemon

Salt

Honey

Zest of an orange (optional)

Mix together the flour, butter/lard, and 3 eggs. Once they are all incorporated, dissolve the salt in the water and add that. Keep kneading until it's smooth. I added an extra egg because mine were smaller. Form into a ball and let rest for at least half an hour.

For the cheese, mix the goat cheese with the lemon zest. You can add orange as well if you want, i did not.

Once the dough has rested, break off pieces and roll into approximately 3 inch circles. I used a biscuit cutter to get the round shape. Put a dollop of goat cheese in the middle and spread it around, keeping away from the edges. Put water around the edge with a finger before putting a second circle on the top. Twist or pinch the sides together.

Fry in a pot of oil until golden brown. Drain for a moment, then plate and drizzle with honey.

*The goat cheese and honey were sourced locally and made this dish that much better*
