Ingredients

onion 1, finely chopped
garlic 2 cloves, crushed
butter
spinach 1 large bag, stalks trimmed and chopped
feta 75g, crumbled
preserved lemon ½, finely chopped
filo pastry 4 sheets

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Fry the onion and garlic in a little butter until very soft but not browned, add the spinach and stir until it wilts and any liquid dries off. Tip the mixture into a bowl and add the feta and lemon.
Step 2

Melt some more butter, brush a sheet of filo and cut it lengthways into 3 strips. Put 2 tbsp of the mix at the top of each strip and fold each over diagonally to make a triangle, then continue to fold over down the length of the pastry. Repeat with the remaining filling and pastry. Arrange the parcels on a buttered baking sheet and brush the tops with more butter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
