Moroccan Chicken and Almond Pie

This is what I made for dinner tonight and it was pretty good. Kids ate everything but the peaches, and it looked pretty on the plate.

Pies:

2 tbsp butter
2 (or more) cups cooked, diced, chicken
1 onion (diced)
1/4 head green cabbage (or any other favourite vegetable)
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
2 eggs (beaten)
several shakes each: ground ginger, cloves, tumeric, coriander, salt
splash chicken broth
12 sheets filo pastry

Sauce:
1 red pepper
2 peaches
several shakes: mustard powder, garlic powder, salt
handful of chopped parsley


Sautee onion and cabbage in butter. Add chicken, spices, almonds (pre-toasted), and cook in a bit of broth. Beat eggs and add to hot pan, stirring quickly until eggs scramble into mixture. Spoon into prepared filo sheets, spraying each with cooking spray and rolling into logs. Bake in oven at 350 for 20-30 minutes until crispy and browned.

Slice pepper julienne, slice peaches off the pit (skins optional). Drizzle with olive oil on medium heat in a frying pan and sprinkle with spices. Cook hot for a short while - pepper will still be semi-crisp.

Prepare whole wheat couscous according to directions. Serve one or two filo rolls over a bed of couscous with peach and pepper sauce and carrot strips on the side.
