6 sheets filo pastry 

150ml Greek yoghurt 

2 tbsp Al'Fez Natural Tahini

2 tbsp olive oil 

1 egg

 

Filling: 

2 tbsp olive oil 

1 red onion, chopped 

450g sweet potato, peeled and chopped into 1cm cubes 

410g can chickpeas 

2 tbsp tomato puree 

2 tsp cumin 

Salt and pepper 

Handful pine nuts  

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC  

2. Boil the sweet potatoes for 7 minutes and drain.

 

3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and cook the onion for ten minutes until soft. Add the tomato puree, chickpeas, sweet potatoes and cumin to the onions. - Season with salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.

 

4. Mix the yogurt, Tahini, olive oil and egg in a bowl. Lay a filo sheet on a large baking tray, then using a pastry brush cover it generously with the yoghurt mixture. Lay a second sheet on top, and cover with more yoghurt mixture. Spoon half of the filling onto the sheet and spread evenly. Cover with another filo sheet, and brush with the yoghurt mixture. Add the rest of the filling. Cover with the three remaining filo sheets, brushing the top with the yoghurt mixture each time. Cut into squares, sprinkle the pine nuts over the top and bake for 35 minutes.
