This is one of the dishes that’s on my vegan menu for The Real Greek. It has proved to be a very popular as it has the perfect balance of aroma and spice.
2 x 400g tinned chickpeas, drained
1 small red chilli, very finely chopped
zest and juice of 1 lemon
30g flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
black and white sesame seeds for sprinkling (optional)
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Place all the filling ingredients except from the sesame seeds into a food processor and blitz into a coarse paste.
Remove the fi lo pastry from the wrapper and unroll onto a clean work surface. Cut through the centre vertically so you have two even sections. Place one on top of the other. Use two sheets per triangle.
Place 1 heaped tsp (do not overfill) of filling at the bottom of each strip and then start folding the pastry around the filling. Seal the triangle with a dab of olive oil.
Lightly brush with olive oil (you don’t want the pastry to be oily) and sprinkle with a little salt.
Place the pastries on the lined baking tray, under damp kitchen paper, and continue until you have used up all the filling or pastry sheets. Sprinkle them with dark and light sesame seeds (if using) Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
These little chocolate mousses pack a powerful punch!
120g dark chocolate (at least 80% cocoa solids), roughly chopped
3 tbsp strong spirit, such as Aqualibra tequila, Cointreau or Mastica liqueur
Put the chocolate into a heatproof glass bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the bottom of the pan, and melt gently. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cinnamon, chilli flakes and alcohol.
Beat the egg whites until they form peaks, then add the sugar and beat again until it turns glossy.
Stir the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate and then slowly fold in the egg whites, little by little. Do not overmix.
Spoon into small glasses, decorate with orange zest, and allow to set in the fridge for 2–3 hours.
