5. To assemble the pies, lay out a filo sheet (keep the rest covered to stop them drying out). Brush it with oil, then put a quarter of the filling in the middle, towards one end. Fold up the pastry to encase the filling, folding in the ends as you roll to make a rectangular parcel.
6. Arrange the parcels on a baking sheet lined with a non-stick liner, brush with the remaining oil and sprinkle with za’atar. Bake for
   15 minutes until hot and crisp.
7. Mix the chickpeas in a bowl with the harissa, lemon juice and mustard cress. Taste, season, then serve with the pies.
