Greek Spinach and Feta Pies (Spanakopita)
Ingredients
7 ounces frozen spinach, thawed
Handful fennel, roughly chopped
Handful flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Handful fresh oregano, roughly chopped
9 ounces filo pastry
7 ounces feta cheese, cut into 8 thin slices
Sea salt and black pepper
1 large free-range egg, beaten
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Pomegranate molasses, for serving (optional)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
In a medium bowl, mix the spinach with the herbs and set aside.
Roll out a rectangular layer of filo pastry and place a quarter of the spinach mixture in the center. Arrange two slices of feta cheese on top. Season with the salt and pepper and wrap up with the filo pastry.
Repeat the process until you have four parcels. Place them on a baking sheet and brush with a beaten egg. Sprinkle over sesame seeds and place in the oven to bake until the pastry is crisp and golden, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Serve warm with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses over the top.
