Mexican Chickpea Filo Pie

All this talk of pie has made me cave in.....
Yep that's right, I'm finally making a recipe with pastry!
Well I did promise the occasional treat right?!?!? ;-)

Mexican Chickpea Filo Pie
You'll need:
1 can chickpeas
1 onion
1 capsicum
1 zucchini
1 cup corn (either fresh, frozen or canned)
1 tsp each paprika, cumin, oregano
1/2 cup salsa
4 sheets filo pastry

Chop the onion, capsicum and zucchini. Combine in a large frying pan with the drained chickpeas and herbs. Dry fry until veggies are mostly cooked through. Stir through the salsa.
Line a pie tin with the sheets of filo.
Pour the veggies mixture into the pastry and gently fold the pastry over the veggies. Brush the top of the pastry with plant-milk of choice. 
 

Bake in a preheated 200C oven for 20 minutes until lightly golden brown on top.

Slice & serve :-)

  2. This looks great Sandy! 4 sheets of filo isn't too indulgent when the filling is nice and healthy.

  7. I seem to be the 1st one who has actually made this and is reporting back. It was very good & also easy. I made it for a large family gathering & everyone seemed to like it. I doubled the recipe and got 3 pies so my veggies may have been larger than the ones Sandy used. Which may have been the reason I needed to add a little more of the spices too. I also added a bit of chili pepper. I will surely be making this again!
