£1.19/100mlBourekas are little parcels of dough crisped with sizzling hot oil, stuffed with savoury fillings and topped with a sprinkle of sesame. Verena Lochmuller's recipe uses puff pastry instead of filo and Swiss chard instead of the more commonly used spinach – with the Ottolenghi Green Harissa lending a real brightness.

Add the oil to a large sauté pan and place over a medium heat. Add the chard stalks and salad onions and cook for 5 minutes until translucent. Add the chard leaves and cook for 4-5 minutes more until wilted and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Add the chickpeas, green harissa, breadcrumbs and both cheeses to the chard mixture. Set aside 1 tbsp of the beaten egg (for the egg wash), then add the remaining egg to the chard and chickpea mixture and mix to combine.
Unwrap the puff pastry and lay it flat on a lightly floured surface. With a short side facing you, cut the pastry in 1/2 vertically, so you have 2 long strips. Divide the chard mixture in 1/2 and arrange evenly in a long line down the centre of each strip. Lift 1 edge of the pastry up and over to cover 1/2 the filling. Brush the remaining free edge with the egg wash and lift it up and over the filling, stretching it slightly if needed, to meet the other pastry edge, overlapping slightly to make sure that it sticks.
Roll the log over so that it sits seam-side down and press down to flatten lightly. Repeat with the other pastry strip and the remaining filling. Cut both logs into 3 to make 6 logs. Brush each log with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
Arrange on the lined tray, then cut 4 slits across the top of each log. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Some filling might burst out, but that is part of the charm. Leave to cool for 10-15 minutes, then serve, with extra green harissa for dipping.
