To prepare the cheese filling
1
In a large bowl, mix the cheese with chopped mint leaves.

Sprinkle the work surface with flour and knead the dough.
3
Cut the dough into small balls. Roll each dough ball into an oval shape.
4
Spread one tablespoon of filling in the centre of each dough.
5
Fold one edge of the dough over diagonally and press it gently to seal it properly. Repeat the process with the other edge leaving an opening in the centre to get the boat shape.
