Ingredients

250g box frozen chopped spinach, thawed

Note: I often use a little more spinach. It's up to you

2 cups cottage cheese

1-1/2 cups feta cheese

Note: Sometimes I add approximately 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese to the recipe but it's not necessary.

2 Tbsps. pesto

2 garlic cloves

1 onion, chopped

2 eggs

salt and pepper to season

8 sheets filo pastry

cooking spray or oil to brush the sheets with

Directions

To remove any excess moisture, place thawed spinach in a sieve and drain.

Place spinach, cottage cheese, feta, pesto, garlic, onion and eggs in a food processor and process until very smooth.

Season with salt and pepper.

Spray or brush one sheet of filo with a little oil and top with a second sheet. Repeat with a further two sheets to line an 8 inch pyrex baking dish.

Pour the filling in and smooth out evenly.

Flip the edges of the filo over to cover the filling.

Spray or brush 4 sheets of filo with a little oil then gently scrunch and place on top.

Note: I prefer to use melted butter.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until the filling is set.

Serve in wedges with a yogurt or Tzatziki sauce on the side.

Lemon Yogurt Sauce:

Blend 1-1/2 cups plain yogurt with grated rind of 1/2 a lemon adding 2 Tbsp. freshly chopped parsley or chives.

Tzatziki:

2 containers plain yogurt (approx. 400 grams), strained for 24 hrs

Note: You can use goat, sheep or cow's yogurt

Half a cucumber, peeled and roughly grated

6 garlic cloves, minced

The juice of 1/2 a lemon

8 leaves of fresh mint, finely chopped

1-1/2 Tbsp. olive oil

salt (2 generous pinches)

After grating, make sure you squeeze out as much of the excess water from the cucumber as possible.

Thoroughly combine all ingredients.
