MeatBald: Looks delicious! Just curious: why non-dairy milk, when you’re using puff pastry? Does it add something, flavor-wise?
robbedstark: That looks amazing, and spicy enough!
pumpyourbrakeskid: ### Ingredients
* 2 puff pastry sheets
* 1 tsp olive oil
* 1 small red onion , thinly sliced or chopped
* 5 cloves of garlic , finely chopped
* 3/4 tsp ground cumin , or 1/2 tsp cumin + 1/2 tsp coriander
* 1 to 2 tsp berbere spice blend , to preference based on heat of the blend. Or use garam masala, shawarma, chili powder blend or just herbs (thyme, oregano, sage)
* 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne or pepper flakes
* a good dash of black pepper
* 15 oz can chickpeas , or 1.5 cups cooked
* 1/2 tsp salt , less or more depending on if the chickpeas are salted
* 5 to 6 oz spinach
* 1 bunch of cilantro chopped, or use more spinach
* 1/2 cup non dairy milk + 1 tbsp flour
* US Customary – Metric
### Instructions
1. Remove the Puff pastry sheets from the freezer and cover and let them rest at room temperature. Roll them out a bit if you like (optional) (they should be ready in about 20 to 25 minutes to use. Prep and make the filling in the meanwhile).
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. When hot add onion and garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook until translucent. Add spices and mix well. Mash the chickpeas using a fork or a food processor and add to the skillet. Add salt and mix well. Cook for 4 minutes.
3. Add the greens and mix in. Cook for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and flavor.
4. Mix the flour into the non dairy milk and add to the chickpeas. Cook for 2-3 minutes to bring to a boil and thicken. Let it cool for a few minutes. (This filling can be made ahead and used in the puff pastry, as a sandwich filling, or a dip with toasted pita. )
5. Spread the mixture on one puff pastry and place the other pastry sheet on top. Crimp the edges with a fork and use scissors to cut vents in. You can also make individual pastry pockets.
6. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 to 24 mins for one large piece, 16 to 20 minutes for smaller. Let the pastry cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

niphredil12: this looks like it would be great with some (vegan) feta in there!
