main meals Servings: 4
Ingredients
Canola Oil Spray
1 tbs olive oil
600 g fresh spinach, cooked, excess water squeezed out, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tbs fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 whole eggs
200 g reduced fat feta cheese, crumbled
200 g low-fat ricotta cheese
3 tbs grated parmesan cheese
3sheets Puff pastry,
Instructions
Spray a 20cm baking tray with oil spray.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium to high heat. Add the spinach and onion and cook until any liquid has been absorbed. This will take 5-8 minutes. Add the parsley and nutmeg and stir. Remove the frying pan from the heat and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the eggs, cheeses and season well with salt and pepper.
Lay 1 sheet of filo in and up the sides of the prepared pan. Spray the surface lightly with oil. Top with 5 more sheets of filo, spraying each layer with oil before adding the next sheet. Spread the spinach mixture over the last sheet of filo and top with 8 more sheets of filo, spraying each layer with oil. Roll the overhanging sides of the pastry into the edges of the baking tray to form a border.
Using a sharp knife, cut into 6 squares, almost through to the bottom, but not quite or the filling will leak. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190C. Bake until crisp and golden, about 45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting squares all the way through to the bottom. Serve warm with a salad tossed with fat-free dressing.
I don’t want this to be about diet food, as I believe good, food should be inclusive, so good health, good conscience and great taste! If you want to make some non-skim versions-enjoy…just some of us are no that fortunate. Not everyone's going to agree with my point of view, but that's fine- this is food through my eyes... or stomach? I'm not here to preach, I'm not a dietician or the next Masterchef, but this is my approach to food and I'd love to share.
