- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- A little effort
- Serves 6
Ingredients
- 400g spinach, washed
- butter
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1½ tsp cumin seeds, toasted
- 200g feta, crumbled
- 50g walnuts, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 9 sheets filo pastry
- 200ml Greek yoghurt
- ½ clove garlic, crushed
- to serve baby salad leaves
- to serve (optional) pomegranate molasses
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Wilt the spinach in a little butter, then cool, squeeze out any water and chop. Put in a bowl with the cinnamon, 1 tsp of the cumin, feta and walnuts and season really well.
- STEP 2
Melt another 50g butter in a small pan. Cut the filo sheets in half so you have 18 squareish pieces. Butter 3 sheets on both sides, then lay on top of each other with each one at an angle to make a rough star shape. Put 1/6 of the filling in the middle. Bring up the sides and gather together at the top, Squeeze or twist to seal firmly. Repeat with the other 5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp. Mix the yoghurt and garlic with the other ½ tsp cumin seeds. Serve with a dollop of yoghurt and a few salad leaves. Drizzle over a little pomegranate molasses to finish, if you like.
