Try leeks as a filling in this thing whose name I do not know but which I have cooked a zillion times and fed so many guests with.

Chop leeks [especially the tender light green part; but you can use a large portion of the tops too] very finely.

For 1 cup leeks, add 2 tsp oive oil, 1/3 tsp red chilli powder, 1/5 tsp salt, and some oregano.

Take out an egg roll wrapper, and top one diagonal half og the square wrapper with a third of the leek mixture. Bring the one corner up and over its opposite to form a triangle. Seal edges with water after pressing out any trapped air. [more or less]. Make all the "things" in a similar manner and keep them under a moist [not soaking wet] towel.

Heat a large oil smeared skillet and depending on the size place three or more of the triangles over it. Turn to cook the other side, drizzle a few drops of oil as necessary, and make sure to cook the folded side of the triangle by holding them up right.

Keep covered, and serve warm with tsaziki sauce

[I simply mix some grated cucumber, salt, crushed garlic and fresh basil or mint with yogurt. Add pepper if you like]

Leftover mashed potatoes with some herbs and spices make a great filling too.!
