Crispy Greek-style pie






    Ingredients                                          Method





      200g bag spinach leaves                             Put the spinach into a large pan. Pour
      175g jar sundried tomatoes in oil                   over a couple tablespoon water, then
      100g feta cheese, crumbled                          cook until just wilted. Tip into a sieve,
      2 eggs                                              leave to cool a little, then squeeze out

      ½ 250g pack filo pastry                             any excess water and roughly chop.
                                                          Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into
                                                          a bowl along with the spinach, feta and
                                                          eggs. Mix well.

                                                          Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover
                                                          with some damp sheets of kitchen paper
                                                          to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of
                                                          pastry and brush liberally with some of
                                                          the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side
                                                          down in a 22cm loose bottomed cake tin
                                                          so that some of the pastry hangs over
                                                          the side. Brush oil on another piece of
                                                          pastry and place in the tin, just a little
                                                          further round. Keep placing the pastry
                                                          pieces in the tin until you have roughly
                                                          three layers, then spoon over the filling.
                                                          Pull the sides into the middle, scrunch
                                                          up and make sure the filling is covered.
                                                          Brush with a little more oil.

                                                          Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook
                                                          the pie for 30 minutes until the pastry is
                                                          crisp and golden brown. Remove from
                                                          the cake tin, slice into wedges and serve
                                                          with salad.
