Spinach and Feta Filo Triangles
Nice party snack
Ingredients
300g spinach, stems removed
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium sized red onion, finely chopped
2 size 7 eggs, whisked
1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh (plus extra for sprinkling over before cooking)
2 tablespoons chopped mint
2 finely grated lemon rind
200g feta, crumbled
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 sheets filo pastry
40g butter, melted
Method
Preheat oven to 180 C.
Wash spinach and place in a saucepan, cover and steam over a moderate heat just until spinach has wilted.
Remove from heat and when cool enough to handle squeeze excess water out and roughly chop.
Meanwhile cook onion and garlic in a little oil over a gentle heat until tender.
Place spinach, onion, garlic, eggs, dill, mint, feta and parmesan in a bowl and mix well.
Season with ground pepper - add salt if your feta is very mild but otherwise it should be salty enough.
Place 4 sheets of filo on a bench and brush butter between each layer.
Cut in half length ways.
Starting at a narrow end spoon mixture onto the filo towards a corner.
You will be using about one sixth of the mixture.
Fold the corner with the filling on it diagonally over to form a triangle.
Continue to fold in this way retaining the triangle shape.
Continue with remaining pastry and filling.
Place triangles on a cold baking tray, brush with remaining butter and sprinkle with extra dill leaves.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and crisp.
