Vegetable flowers

Okay, so this is probably the most proud I've ever been about something I made in the kitchen. Firstly because they were delicious, secondly because they looked sooo cute-like little flowers and thirdly because I didn't use a recipe- I came up with this on my own :D yaaay 

Here's what you'll need for about 24 flowers:

- filo pastry - I used 1 pack of bought filo pastry, this   may be different for different brands 

- 2 eggs

- 1tbs chia seeds

- 2tbs sour cream

- 1 onion

- 1 zucchini

- 1 red pepper

- 1 tomato

- 1 can of cooked corn

- 2 medium carrots

- mozarella

- spices to taste -  I used salt, pepper, turmeric, cayenne pepper and a little ginger

HOW TO:

- cut your filo pastry into squares with the sides about 5cm long. No need to worry about making them the same size of making the squares perfect. Now brush one square with A LITTLE olive oil and put another square over it - make it so the second square is rotated a little. Now put this into your cupcake pan and press down lightly.

- Heat olive oil and add onions - cook untill slightly yellow and soft. Cut other vegetables into small pieces and add them to the onions. Stir and cover. Reduce heat to medium and let it cook untill all of the vegetables are soft. Once they are cooked, let them cool down a little.

- Once the vegetables have cooled down add the sour cream and stir. Now add the eggs and chia seeds and make sure everything is combined nicely. 

- Add spices to taste

- Now scoop the filling into the cups you've made with filo pastry and top each flower with a small piece of mozarella. Brush the sides of the pastry with some egg wash and pop it in the oven at 180°C until the pastry is a nice golden brown and the filling has set- the eggs have cooked.

Take out of the oven, top with fresh herbs, and enjoy. These are delicious hot or cold. 

I had mine with a bowl of homemade spicy pumpkin soup and it was deliciousssss
