  • Cover and simmer for another 8-10 minutes. Uncover and let the moisture from the lid go into the pan and evaporate. Taste and season. Set aside.
  • Cut the Violife feta cheese into small cubes.
  • Peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
  • Quickly blanch them in salted water to tenderize but not overcook. Quickly drain and set aside.
  • In a large bowl add olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper, olives, cooked leeks and sweet potato and mix well.

Get your workspace ready

  • Cut a piece of plastic film the size of the phyllo dough.
  • Take a clean towel and damp with.
  • Have a lined baking sheet ready and the bowl with the filling next to it.
  • Fill a small cup with olive oil and have a brush next to it or use spraying oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 360 F

Assemble the torte

  • On a clean surface, open the phyllo package and plastic bag and remove the dough.
  • Open the sheets and quickly cover them with plastic film and a damp towel.
  • If you are making individual tortes, take half of the sheets and cut in half. Cover the rest again.
  • Place one square down and quickly brush a little oil, then place another sheet at a different angle and brush again. Keep rotation the next square to form a circle of edges until you have 5 sheets.
  • Place several tablespoons of the filling in the middle. Dot with Violife feta cheese and push down into the filling.
  • Quickly fold the edges as you go around to make a rustic torte. Place on the baking sheet.
  • Repeat for the other 3 tortes and keep the remaining phyllo covered at all times.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on it during the last 5 minutes to make sure it doesn't overbake. Phyllo cooks very quickly.
  • Let it cook down for a few minutes and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve with a green salad, as an appetizer (if you make it smaller).
You can use just about any vegetables as a filling.
If you don't have Violife feta, you can use another vegan cheese of your liking.
