What

  • 1
    2 red onions
  • 2
    6 gloves of garlic
  • 3
    3 tablespoons paprika powder
  • 4
    3 tablespoons cumin
  • 5
    40 grams tomato paste
  • 6
    200 grams Redefine Meat
  • 7
    2 sweet peppers
  • 8
    5-6 medium tomatoes
  • 9
    1 lemon
  • 10
    20 grams parsley
  • 11
    1 teaspoon agave syrup
  • 12
    1 teaspoon salt
  • 13
    1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
  • 14
    10 sheets filo pastry
  • 15
    200 milliliters of olive oil

How

  • 1
    Preheat your pan on medium heat before adding a thin layer of olive oil.
  • 2
    Mince the onion and add it to the hot oil. Let it caramelize for a few minutes.
  • 3
    Mince the garlic and add it to the pan once the onion is caramelized.
  • 4
    Add 3 tablespoons of paprika powder and cumin to the pan and sauté until they become aromatic, making sure they don't burn.
  • 5
    Once the spices have released their flavor, add the tomato paste and sauté briefly.
  • 6
    Add the Redefine Meat to the pan and cook for a few minutes.
  • 7
    While the Redefine Meat is cooking, slice the sweet peppers into small pieces and add them to the pan.
  • 8
    Cut the tomatoes into small cubes and add them to the pan as well.
  • 9
    Let the mixture simmer on low to medium heat so some of the moisture from the tomatoes can evaporate. The mixture shouldn't be too wet; otherwise, it will make the filo pastry soggy.
  • 10
    Add the lemon, parsley, agave syrup, salt, and pepper, and let it simmer for another few minutes.
  • 11
    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (or as specified on the filo pastry packaging).
  • 12
    Place the filo pastry on a clean surface and cover it with a little olive oil. This helps to bake the pastry.
  • 13
    Add a thin cylinder of filling (around 3 tablespoons) to the pastry and roll it up like a cigar.
  • 14
    Repeat this with as many sheets as the filling allows. Make sure not to overfill the pastry, or it won't become crunchy.
  • 15
    Bake in the oven until golden (10-20 minutes). This really depends on the oven and the amount of filling, but you'll start to smell it when it's done.
