spinach and feta
triangles
spinach (or beet spinach)
- a colander full
1 packet of feta cheese
a few basil
leaves, torn into small bits
1 packet of filo pasty
butter (lots!)
Steam the spinach until soft
and mash up, getting rid of as much water as you can. Mash in the feta
and basil leaves.
Open out the pastry and cut
in half along the width, now divide each half pile into eight small
strips. Stack up and keep under a damp tea towel while you work. Melt
the butter.
Brush each strip with butter,
then place a heaped teaspoon of spinach mixture at the bottom, then
fold into a triangle. Keep rolling the triangle up the strip,( like
they fold flags...) then place on a baking tray and brush with butter.
Use up all of the spinach mixture. You shoudl make about 20.
Bake at about 180C for ten
minutes or so, until browned.
