Ingredients

2 cups pumpkin or butternut diced
1 tsp oil (for pumpkin)
1½ cups onion diced (around 1 onion)
1 tsp oil (for onion)
½ cup dried cranberries
½ tsp salt
1 cup frozen spinach defrosted (around 300g)
8 sheets filo pastry - size around 30x20cm (12x8 in)
oil for brushing
1 tsp black sesame seeds garnish
1 tsp white sesame seeds garnish
fresh coriander garnish

Instructions

Mix the diced pumpkin with 1 teaspoon of oil on a baking tray. Bake for around 20 minutes at 180°C/355°F or until soft.
In a pan sauté the onion and 1 teaspoon oil for around 5 minutes or until soft.
In a mixing bowl combine pumpkin with onion, cranberries, salt and spinach.
Put 2 sheets of filo pastry onto your chopping board and cut in half lengthwise so you have 2 long pieces on top of each other.
Spoon ½ cup of the mix onto the bottom right corner. Fold into a triangle. Keep folding over into triangles until you have used all the pastry. There will be around 4-5 folds required depending on the size.
Using a brush, oil the filo parcels lightly. You can also use oil spray. make sure the tips and sides are covered as these burn the easiest.
Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Bake in the oven at 150°C/300°F for around 15 minutes or until crunchy.
Garnish with fresh coriander.
