My choice was to make something really easy. Here in Serbia it`s quite usual to use phyllo pastry to make different kinds of pies. Since the healthier food is becoming more and more popular, it`s not a surprise to find whole wheat phyllo pastry. I decided to make savory container out of buckwheat phyllo.
Here`s how I made it:
Brioche mold came out to be an excellent choice for preparing the container. First, I cut three thin buckwheat layers into a circular shape, big enough to completely cover the mold and then I sprinkled the top one with a tiny bit of olive oil. Container-to-be was baked in pre-heated oven at 200C for 5 minutes.
Simple as that!!!
Baked container had to be filled with something tasty and light, so I made a salad. In order to prepare it, you`ll need no more than 10 minutes. Buy:

- cabbage, and cut it in thin stripes
- sesame seeds-place them in the frying pan (you don`t have to grease it) on medium fire until they become light brown.
- carrot-grated
- sea salt to taste or tamari sauce
- few drops of water
- toasted sesame oil
Mix well all the ingredients, place them in the freshly baked food container and serve with the main dish of your choice.
