    and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.

    3 Return eggplant to pan, along with tomatoes, olives and 1 cup water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium
    and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

    4 Spoon mixture among four 1¼ cup-capacity ovenproof dishes. Scatter over feta. Scrunch up filo halves and place over pies. Lightly spray with olive oil, then bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Serve pies with mixed salad leaves on the side.
