Ingredients
- 1 phyllo pastry you will only use 6 - 9 sheets, pack, brand Mediterranean Delicacies
- 400 spinach I used baby spinach leaves
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 - 4 spring onion finely sliced
- 1 Tbs dill chopped
- 1 Tbs parsley chopped
- pinch nutmeg about 1/4 tsp, freshly grated
- lemon zest of 1/4 lemon
- lemon juice or a big squeeze, juice of 1/4 lemon
- 120 feta cheese
- salt
- black pepper
- olive oil you need quite a bit, for brushing
Instructions
- Pre heat your oven to 180 C / 350 F
- Saute your onions in a splash of olive oil until soft (about 5 minutes).
- While this is happening, heat a large pot with a few cups of water in the bottom. When the water is boiling, add the spinach and cook until it is wilted (about 3 minutes) and then drain in a colander and set aside.
- Squeeze out any excess water and lightly chop it up.
- Add the chopped wilted spinach to the onion mix and stir.
- Add the herbs and spices and the lemon juice and zest and cook until the liquid has evapourated. Add the crumbled feta and mix to combine and take it off the heat. Check seasoning and add black pepper and salt if necessary.
- making the pies - get everything ready first
- Have a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper or a silicone sheet ready.
- Have the olive oil and a pastry brush ready to brush down the phyllo.
- Have a dampened tea towel ready which you will wrap the remaining phyllo in to prevent it from drying out and becoming brittle.
- Unwrap the phyllo pastry from the packaging and gently remove 3 sheets.
- Roll and cover the remaining pastry with the damp tea towel.
- Separate the 3 sheets and brush one all over with olive oil (or melted butter) and immediately place the second sheet on top of the first. Repeat. Brush the third sheet with olive oil too.
- Cut the pastry sheets into 3 equal parts length ways (top to bottom), or if you want to make small pies 4 or 5 lengths.
- Place a dollop of the spinach mix at the one end and then fold over to form a triangle.
- Continue to fold the parcel over as you work your way down the strip of pastry maintaining the triangle shape.
- Place the triangle pies on the baking sheet, brush the tops with olive oil and bake for 25 - 30 minutes until golden brown.
