Serves 6
INGREDIENTS:
* 100ml olive oil
* 4 Spanish onions, halved and finely sliced
* 2 cloves garlic, peeled, finely chopped
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
* Pinch granulated sugar
* 1/2 bunch dill, finely chopped or 2 tsp dried dill
* 6 vine plum tomatoes, skinned and roughly chopped, reserve half their juices
* 1 tsp tomato puree
* 50g blanched almonds, blitzed to a crumble
* 250g feta cheese, crumbled
* 1 packet filo pastry, approx 12 sheets
* 150g melted butter

METHOD:
* Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas 6. Heat olive oil in a large surface pan, gently fry the onions over a low heat, add the garlic, cinnamon and sugar and increase heat. Fry for about six minutes until caramelised.
* Add the dill, tomatoes and some of their juices, and tomato puree and cook for a further five minutes until reduced. Unfold the pastry and cut in half, keep covered with a damp cloth to stop from drying out.
* Brush baking tin (approx 30 x 20 cm) with melted butter, line the tin with a sheet of filo, brush with butter and repeat again, to give a three-layer thickness. Spread half the onion mixture over the pastry, top with half the almonds and half the feta.
* Sandwich three layers of filo together brushing each with melted butter and place on top of onion feta mix. Top with remaining onions, almonds and feta and again top with a three layered piece of filo.
* Lightly score the top cutting six diamonds, brush with butter and splash with a little water, place on a baking tray and cook for 30-35 minutes until golden.
* Cool a little before serving. Serve with a shaved fennel, black olive, watercress, mint and parsley salad, dressed with a little lemon juice and olive oil. Or serve with some tsatziki.

Today's Vote

This week: Regarding the planned works at the Geoff Moulder pool do you want to see:
a) The training pool closed and £2.5m spent on the leisure pool?
b) The money split between the two pools so they can both stay open?
