To make this Lentil and Sweet Potato Filo Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup of green lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 6 sheets of filo pastry
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large pot, cook the sweet potato and lentils in boiling water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked sweet potato and lentils, along with the cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.
To assemble the pie, lay one sheet of filo pastry on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Repeat with the remaining sheets of filo, layering them on top of each other and brushing each layer with butter. Spoon the lentil and sweet potato mixture onto the center of the filo pastry, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the edges of the filo pastry over the filling, creating a rustic pie shape.
Bake the Lentil and Sweet Potato Filo Pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crispy. Serve hot and enjoy!
This Lentil and Sweet Potato Filo Pie is a perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors, with a crispy and flaky texture from the filo pastry. It is a great dish for any time of the day, whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This dish is vegetarian and can be made vegan by using vegan butter instead of regular butter.
