Don't you love a meal that you can make just because you thought of it, and you know the ingredients are sitting there in your freezer and waiting for you?
Yep- this weeks recipe can be one of those.
Join me in cooking spinach and feta pie.
-INGREDIENTS-
From the freezer:
1x packet of spinach (I use Bell's Farm), thawed
Approx 1/2 a pack of Filo pastry, thawed (you could also use the refrigerated brand, same concept though, you can just have it sitting there until you're ready to use!)
The other stuff:
Olive oil
1x packet of soft feta
2x eggs
grated parmesan cheese, quantity to your liking
zest of 1 lemon
grated nutmeg, quantity to your liking
1x clove of garlic minced
-RECIPE-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees, if you plan on baking straight up.
1. Strain all excess fluid from the thawed spinach. Add to bowl
2. Crumble in the feta to the bowl
3. Add the eggs, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, nutmeg and garlic. Mixy-do.
4. Season with pepper. Salt won't be necessary.
5. Prep the pie base. Oil the base of your baking apparatus. I used a cake tin.
6. Using a basting brush, lightly brush oil over a sheet of filo pastry and place in the pie tin (oil side up).
7. Continue this process with each sheet of pastry, rotating the angle of the pastry so all areas of the tin are covered. You will use about half the packet of pastry, or until you get bored of basting. The edges of the pastry should be hanging over the edges of the pie tin at this point.
8. PLOP your pie mixture into the pie tin.
9. Bring in the overflowed edges of the pastry into the centre of the tin to cover up the mixture.
10. Brush again with oil.
11. Plonk in the preheated oven for 20-30 mins, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
Serve with a nice chunky salad and glass'o wine if you fancy.
