Method -

  • Combined the yoghurt, milk, oil and egg and set aside.

  • Dice and saute the onion and garlic. Once soft, add the hazlenuts, shredded kale, chiffonade mint and stock.

  • When the stock has reduced, crumble in cubes of feta and turn of the heat.

  • Brush the yoghurt mixture on a sheet of phyllo and add another sheet over the top. Repeat until you have 4 sheets stacked and washed with yoghurt. Add 1/3 of the filling along the top side of the rectangle and then roll until you have a filled cylinder of pastry.

  • Transfer the cyclinder to a baking sheet and coil it on itself so that you have a swirl.

  • Repeat and continue forming the swirl with the two additional cyclanders.

  • Brush the remaining yoghurt mixture on the swirl and then bake in the oven until golden brown, around 20 minutes at 170°C.
