How to Prepare Asian Vegetable Cigars [Vegan]
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a flat baking tray.
- Combine all the grated vegetables, turmeric, coriander 1/2 cup of the olive oil, and season to taste. Mix well.
- Only bring out the filo pastry when you are ready to start rolling them as otherwise the pastry will dry up and start cracking on the corners.
- Using two sheets at a time, placing 1/2 cup of the filling in the middle lengthways.
- Place the two short edges over the filling then roll making sure you pull the pastry tight over the filling — not too tight as you will tear the pastry. Work with it delicately.
- Place the cigar with the edge facing down on the baking tray and grease it with the oil.
- Repeat this process until all the filling is gone. You should get about six cigars.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the pastry is brown and crispy.
- Take out of the oven and spray a little water on them to bring down the puffiness and place a tea towel over them for around 5-10 minutes.
- Serve with tamari and toasted sesame seed sauce.
