Press the nut mixture onto the cheese wedges. Place on a plate and chill for at least 45-50 minutes until very cold. In a large saucepan, heat enough oil for deep-frying. Fry cheese wedges until golden brown all over. Drain on paper towelling to remove excess oil. Serve immediately. Serves 2-4.

Tip of the day

Ice tricks
For ice that won't dilute your tea, freeze tea in ice cube trays. For zing, put twists of lemon zest in trays before filling and freezing.
