Blue Monday

Today was a struggle of a Monday. It shouldn't have been, because I finally finally went to Logan Brown for dinner last night! I'll talk you through that meal another time.

This morning however, it was raining, grey and I drank about my body weight in wine over the weekend. Struggling through work, I was reminded that my friend Hannah and I had foolishly signed up for a group training session at the gym, which was today at lunchtime. I actually felt better for the endorphin kick, and decided that a healthy dinner was in order.

Cue: roast pumpkin, feta, cherry tomatoes, spinach, some leftover caramelised onion and some salt and pepper.

Vegetarian Filo Wraps

Filo pastry is a little intimidating, but if you just act confident, this stuff is the goods. I prefer brushing it with olive oil over melted butter, but either is fine.

Basically, you just make a filling with whatever you want (see above). Pinenuts are good, fresh herbs and any combo of veges you may have lying around.

You then brush layers of the filo together, fold a few until you have a rectangle. Chuck some filling on, fold up like a parcel and away you go! Brush with a little olive oil and sprinkle with something on top if you like (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, chilli flakes...the pantry is your oyster).

Then you bake! About 180*C for about 20 minutes until brown. My gym-buddy (and just buddy in general) Hannah and I had them with a green salad with avocado and balsamic. Delicious!
