Courgette and Chick Pea Filo Pie

Now, who'da thunk than Nigella would be a good source for a vegetarian main course? Somehow I associate her with roasts and other meaty things.

It takes a bit of time to put this together, but there's nothing really hard, especially if you've played with phyllo/filo before.

It didn't take all the veg stock to get the rice cooked. (btw, 125g was 2/3cup).

When cut into, the tart smelled lovely, curry-ish, but the flavor was more subtle. Needed some salt, but a nice Indian pickle might provide that (for the leftovers).

The recipe calls for a 22cm springform pan. I had only a 28cm pan (actually I have 2 of these for some reason), but it was quite full. Don't think the smaller one would work in this case.

Tasty, nice presentation.
