- Handful of chopped fresh coriander and flatleaf parsley leaves

Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry, stirring, for 10 minutes until softened. Add the garlic cloves, harissa dried spice mix (we used Bart) and cinnamon, then continue to cook for 2 more minutes.

Top with the scrunched-up filo sheets, brushed with olive oil, then sprinkle over a pinch of ground cinnamon. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and piping hot.

This was so easy to make, well worth giving it a go. Don’t leave the almonds out it adds to the teaxture, I couldn’t get Harrissa powder but did get paste. No heart burn with the filo pastry, yayyyyyy
