Filo Pie

I’ve been looking for recipes that will let me use my new casserole dish recently. When I came across this recipe for Creamy Green Halloumi & Chickpea Filo Pie, I knew I was onto a winner.

The dish started out by cooking some halloumi to develop some colour. Unfortunately, this is something I usually struggle with. Is my pan hot enough? Too hot? Should I be using oil? Does my halloumi need to be drier? Have you been involved in accident that wasn’t your fault? All of these questions often tend to get in my way, leaving my halloumi either stuck to the pan or looking pale and sad. For this recipe, I opted to cook my halloumi on a high heat with no oil in a stainless steel pan which seemed to do a pretty good job. I was still met with a bit of unwanted pan-stickage, but overall managed to get some nice golden-brown colour. I think I will use this same technique next time.

I wouldn’t consider myself a conspiracy theorist, but I’m certain that there has to be some ulterior, nefarious reason for why spinach comes in such large bags. I bought a bag last week, I feel like I’ve eaten some every day, and yet there is still about two thirds of a bag left in the fridge, crying out to be eaten. Not to be defeated by Big Spinach’s agenda, today’s meal attempts to use up my remaining leafy greens, and also a courgette I had knocking about. Enter the room: sausage and spinach orzo.
