Preparation

  1. Pastry:

    • Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Spinach Feta Filling:

    • Add Knorr Mashed Potato to boiled water, let stand and mix until uniform in texture. Cool completely.
    • Add spinach, zaatar, parsley, feta, and onion to potato and set aside for flavours to develop.

    • Add chicken, corn, black beans, spices, onions, cheese and herbs. Mix until well combined.

  4. Assemble:

    • Roll each piece of dough into a circle, 1/8” thick. Cut halfway through the circle and form a cone with the two straight edges of the circle, glue together with water to make a seal.
    • Fill the pastry with the flavour of choice, seal shut with water and place on a prepared baking sheet.
    • Brush with coconut oil and bake for 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through the baking process.
    • Serve hot with the date and tamarind chutney.
