Corgette and Feta Baklava

Ok, for this you'll need;

Some filo pastry, some spray olive oil, 2 medium corgettes, a few sundried tomatos, pack of feta, medium red onion, 3 cloves garlic (or 2 tbsp garlic granules), salt & pepper, cumin,

1. Preheat the oven to 220 deg (not sure what gas mark that is - lets guess at 7 or something) and get a shallow baking tray (about 4-5cm maybe?) and about 30cm x 20cm

2. Grate the corgette and then lay on some kitchen roll and get as much moisture as possible out.

3. Finely dice or slice the onion, sundried tomatos and roughly chop the feta.

4. Whack the grated corgette, onion, feta and tomatos in a big bowl, add the garlic, generous pinch of salt and pepper and a couple of tsps of cumin. Give it a mix so it's all evenly dispersed.

5. Get the pastry sheets (the branded supermarket recipe says you need about 1000,000 sheets but stuff them)

***What I did was unroll the sheets (wait for them to thoroughly defrost before doing this!) and I saw that they were pretty big but one half was about the same size as my tin so I just cut all of them in half***

Spray one side with the oil and place oil side down on the baking tray. Do this with about 2/5th's of your sheets making sure the oily side is face down. Place them in different ways so you get a **little bit** of over hang all the way around the edges of the tray. Don't be OCD about this - just lay them in and don't press down each one.

6. Spoon in about 2/3rds of your mixture - then lay another 1/5th of the filo pastry sheets (again oiling each one and placing face down)

7. Spoon in the rest of your mixture - lay the remaining 2/5ths of filo pastry sheets (each one oily side down blah blah) and spray the top well

8. Is your oven propery preheated? Good. Put that bad boy on the upper middle shelf

9. I think you're supposed to cook this for about 30-40 mins (less for fan ovens) but keep checking to see that the top isn't burning.

10. You can serve this with minty yogurt which is very nice (finely chop some mint and put it in some organic yoghurt - see how helpful I am?!) Personally I would drink a shit load of wine and demand some special favours for my effort.
