Make it step by step
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F / gas mark 5).
- Mash the chickpeas in a large bowl and set aside.
- Cook the olive oil, onion and garlic in a saucepan, until the onion and garlic are translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, and stir.
- Now add the wine and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. When the mixture has cooled, stir in the cheese, chickpeas, coriander and egg. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
- Now prepare the pastry. Cut the filo pastry into rectangles about 10 cm x 20 cm (4 in. x 8 in.). Brush each sheet with a little olive oil.
- Put a tablespoonful of filling at one end of a sheet. Fold over the sides and nearest end of the filo and roll the pastry lengthways into a sausage shape.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden in colour.
