<item type ="1">Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place oven rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). </item>
        <item type ="2">In medium skillet, heat 2 Tbsp (30 mL) <ingred ptr="#canolaO">canola oil</ingred> over medium-high heat. Once oil appears to shimmer, add <ingred ptr="#bellpepp">pepper</ingred> and <ingred ptr="#saffthreads">saffron</ingred> and stir-fry until <ingred ptr="#bellpepp">pepper</ingred> is softened, about 5 minutes. Scrape this orange-hued medley into medium bowl, leaving any remaining oil in skillet. Add remaining 2 Tbsp (30 mL) <ingred ptr="#canolaO">canola oil</ingred> in skillet, mix and set aside.</item>
<item type ="3">In small bowl, add <ingred ptr="#chxpea">chickpeas</ingred>, <ingred ptr="#chopspin">spinach</ingred>, <ingred ptr="#fetachz">feta</ingred>, <ingred ptr="#scallion">scallions</ingred>, <ingred ptr="#chopdill">dill</ingred>, <ingred ptr="#lgeggs">eggs</ingred>, <ingred ptr="#lemon">lemon</ingred>, <ingred ptr="#gratnutmeg">nutmeg</ingred>, <ingred ptr="#blpepper">pepper</ingred> and <ingred ptr="#salt">salt</ingred>. Mix well. </item>
        <item>Working on clean and dry cutting board, carefully peel apart one <ingred ptr="#phyllo">phyllo sheet</ingred> and place on board. Brush with saffron-hued oil from skillet. Peel second <ingred ptr="#phyllo">phyllo sheet</ingred> and place on brushed surface. Repeat twice more for stack of four sheets.</item>
        <item type ="4">Place 1/2 cup (125 mL) filling alongside lower third part of shorter side of <ingred ptr="#phyllo">phyllo sheet</ingred>. Fold longer edges over filling and roll sheets, burrito-style, to reach top third of other short sides. Brush edges with <ingred ptr="#saffthreads">saffron</ingred> <ingred ptr="#canolaO">canola oil</ingred> and fold over to form a snug packet. Brush all sides with more <ingred ptr="#canolaO">oil</ingred> and place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining <ingred ptr="#phyllo">phyllo sheet</ingred> (you may have some leftover) and use up all filling until you have about eight bundles. </item>
<item type ="5">Bake bundles until sunny brown and crispy, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve with colorful side dishes as desired.</item>
