- 2 japanese eggplants halved, sliced
- 1 onion sliced into wedges
- 1/4 cup oil
- 4 ounces chickpeas canned, rinsed, drained
- 3 1/2 ounces peppers roasted, sliced
- 1/2 tablespoon harissa paste
- 5 1/4 ounces baby spinach
- 3 1/2 ounces halloumi cheese diced
- 1/3 cup pine nuts toasted
- 16 sheets filo dough
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons za'atar spice
- yogurt minted, to serve
- lemon wedges to serve
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Lightly grease and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Combine rice. Cook in boiling salted water for 30-35 mins, until tender. Drain.
- Heat a large, nonstick frying pan over high heat. Toss together zucchini, eggplants and onion in oil. Season. Working in batches, cook vegetables for 2-3 mins per side, until just tender. Return all vegetables in pan. Add chickpeas, peppers and harissa. Cook for 1-2 mins, until fragrant. Combine with rice and let cool. Add spinach, cheese and pine nuts. Set aside.
- Working quickly, layer 4 sheets of filo dough together, lightly coating each with oil. Spoon 1/4 of vegetable mixture along long edge of pastry, leaving a 1 inch border. Brush edges with egg, folding in sides to enclose filling. Roll up tightly to form a log then shape into a coil. Transfer to prepared tray. Brush with egg and sprinkle with 2 tsp za'atar spice. Repeat with remaining filo dough and filling. Bake for 10-15 mins, until golden and crisp.
- Serve with yogurt and lemon wedges.
