Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Fry the sliced onions in 15ml of oil for 5 minutes until golden-brown and set aside.
  • Heat 92ml of oil in a tray until smoking, then coat potatoes in the oil with spices, garlic, and chilli.
  • Season and roast potatoes for 25 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon to cool.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C.
  • Combine the cooled onions, potatoes, spinach, and pistachios in a bowl and season well.
  • Layer three sheets of pastry in a greased 36cm x 24cm dish, brushing each sheet with melted butter.
  • Spread one third of the vegetable mixture over the pastry.
  • Add five layers of pastry with butter between them, then add another third of the mixture.
  • Repeat with five more pastry layers and the remaining mixture, finishing with five buttered pastry sheets and a honey drizzle.
  • Cut a criss-cross pattern into the top and bake for 40 minutes until crisp and golden-brown.
  • Serve portions with a spoonful of yoghurt and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
