Ingredients

Yemeni Hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat fan forced oven 200C
  2. Bring a large pot of water up to the boil and add a teaspoon of salt.
  3. Blanch the Kale for two minutes, remove into ice water. Drain and squeeze out as much water as you can. Repeat the process for the Spinach and set both aside.
  4. Meanwhile, heat a small pot over a low heat and add one tablespoon of Olive Oil. Add the onions, garlic, a few twists of pepper and cook, stirring regularly for 3-4 minutes or until the onions have sweetened and softened.
  5. Add the cooked lentils and combine. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  6. Roughly chop the Spinach and Kale and place into a large bowl. Add the Riverina Dairy Greek Style Fetta, Eggs, herbs, a few twists of Pepper and Aleppo Chilli and mix well to combine.
  7. Brush a large round baking tray with extra virgin olive oil. Place one sheet of Filo on the bench and lightly brush with a little olive oil. Spread some of the Riverina Dairy Greek Style Fetta and Kale mixture loosely across the filo, place another sheet on top and press down lightly.
  8. Brush with the Olive Oil and then much like a concertina gather the Filo from the bottom edge towards the top creating folds as you go.
  9. Roll up the filled pastry in a scroll or snail shape and place into the centre of the pan. Repeat with the remaining Filo and filling, working your way out to the edge of the baking tray.
  10. Brush with Olive Oil, sprinkle with Sesame Seeds and bake until crisp and golden approx. 35 minutes.
  11. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Cut and serve with the Yemeni hot sauce.
