30ml (2 Tbsp) Moroccan spice mix
30ml (2 Tbsp) tomato paste

Directions
Moroccan Filling:
Marinate chicken in Worcestershire sauce and set aside until needed.
Heat pot with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Sauté the onions for about 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the carrots and fry for another minute or two while stirring.
Remove from heat and add Moroccan spice mix and tomato paste.
Put pot back on heat and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add 2 cups of water, stir and add tomatoes and brown sugar.
Close with a lid and simmer on a low heat until tomatoes are cooked, about 30 minutes.
Fry marinated chicken and mushrooms in a separate pan over medium heat.
Mix chicken and mushrooms with Moroccan mix and season to taste.
Assemble the Phyllo Scroll
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
Lay out a double layer of phyllo pastry on your work surface. Brush with melted butter.
oop the filling onto the pastry in one line horizontally about 10cmm away from the edge closest to you. Roll up the filling in the pastry and then roll the first one up into a scroll.
Repeat three times and wrap the next roll around the first scroll, etc.
Brush the top with melted butter and bake for about 20-25 minutes until phyllo is golden.
Salad:
Combine all salad ingredients, season to taste and dress with your favourite salad dressing.
Additional Notes
*You do not have to roll the filling onto a scroll; you can simply top the pie filling with phyllo pastry for a lighter finish, or puff pastry for a more classic pie.
