Spanakopita (spinach pastries)
- Wash bunch of spinach thoroughly (soaking it in water to eliminate the sand)
- Chop the spinach very finely & sprinkle it with salt
- Once the salt has extracted some of the moisture, squeeze the spinach dry with fists
- Chop up fresh spring onions finely & add them to the spinach
- Crush in mild Greek fetta (or ricotta) cheese - several handfuls
- Mix in 2-3 eggs
- Add salt & pepper
- Layer filo pastry in a greased pan, brushing every 3rd sheet with olive oil
- After ~ 8 sheets (or until sufficient), place the filling on the pastry without placing olive oil on that top layer
- Finally repeat a mirrored layers of pastry on top of the filling
- Cook in 180 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown
