Serves 8.

Ingredients:

• 1 pack filo pastry (250-300g)
• 1 red onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, diced
• 450g fresh spinach, chopped
• 2 eggs
• 100g cream cheese
• 400g chickpeas, drained
• 50g butter/spread, melted

Method:

1. Oven on to 180C fan/200C.
   
   
2. Dice onion and garlic. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan then add onion and garlic. Gently heat until softened.
   
   
3. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Place in a sieve and use a spoon to press out as much water as possible. Set aside.
   
   
4. Mix together the eggs and cream cheese. Add the spinach mixture and chickpeas then mix together.
   
   
5. Place a filo sheet on a chopping board/surface and use a pastry brush to brush over melted butter. Place another sheet on top and repeat twice more so you have 3 sheets of filo one on to of the other.
   
   
6. Place half of the filling along the length of the filo pastry sheets about half an inch from the edge. Roll up into a sausage shape making sure to cover any exposed filo pastry with melted butter. Repeat steps 4 & 5 so you have 2 filo sausages.
   
   
7. In an 8 inch cake tin, roll the first filo sausage in a spiral in the middle of the tin then place the other around the outside. Brush top with butter.
   
   
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm or chilled.
