Description:

An easy and light meal to make that is healthy and great for the kids.

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch English spinach
• 250g Australian ricotta, crumbled
• 250g Australian feta, crumbled
• 8 spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 6 sheets filo pastry
• 40g Australian butter, melted
• sesame seeds, for sprinkling
• 1/2 cup Australian natural yogurt, for serving
• crisp green salad, for serving

Method:

1. Wash spinach well and discard stems (you should have approximately 200g of spinach leaves). Strain off excess water and place in a saucepan. Heat covered, until just wilted and soft. Roughly chop and set aside to cool. Squeeze out excess moisture. Combine ricotta and feta and stir in spinach, spring onions, and egg.
2. Layer the sheets of filo pastry, brushing between each with melted butter. Spoon mixture along the longest side of pastry. Fold in ends and roll over to enclose filling.
3. Place Spanakopita on a lined baking tray, and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 200°C for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm or cold accompanied a dollop of yogurt and crisp green salad.
