  5. Add in half of the water and swish it around the pan.
  6. Put the grated sweet potato in the pan, followed by the other half of the water.
  7. While stirring, cook the mixture down until the sweet potato is soft.
  8. Add the baby spinach into the pan, and turn the pan down to low.
  9. Meanwhile, put the chickpeas into a food processor and blitz until they are a rough, coarse, crumble.
  10. Add the chickpea mixture into the pan with a dash of water from the chickpea can, and stir them in.

  12. Once the pan has cooled, add in the feta, coriander, and parsley, and stir it in.
  13. Preheat an oven to 180°C.
  14. Lay out a sheet of puff pastry and cut it in half.
  15. Place the cooled mixture in the middle of the pastry and mould it onto the shape of a skinny log.
