Spinach and Feta Filo Parcels

INGREDIENTS

• 2 x 300g bags baby spinach
• ¼ cup spring onions, finely chopped
• 100g feta
• 150g ricotta
• Salt and pepper
• 12 sheets filo pastry
• 50g butter melted

DIRECTIONS

1. Put the spinach into a microwavable container and microwave for 2 minutes until wilted. Tip the spinach into a fine sieve over a bowl and press down with a spoon to remove excess liquid. Place spinach into a clean bowl then stir in spring onions, feta, ricotta and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius
3. Carefully spread out a sheet of filo pastry, cover the other sheets of pastry with a damp tea towel until needed. Melt the butter in a small dish in the microwave, then use a pastry brush to lightly spread the butter over the sheet of filo. Layer with another sheet of filo and spread with butter again, then top with one more sheet of filo.
4. Cut the layered sheet into 4 long strips. At the bottom of each strip spoon on 1 tbsp of spinach mixture. Fold the pastry strip diagonally across the mixture and continue to fold to keep the triangular shape. Repeat with the other 3 strips, then repeat all over again with remaining filo sheets.
5. Place the parcels onto a lined baking tray and brush with a little more melted butter, place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
