GOLDEN SPINACH, FETA & PUMPKIN FILO PIE

Steps:

• Begin by making the filling. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then add the onion with a pinch of salt and fry over a medium heat for 10 mins or until softened and beginning to caramelise. Add the garlic, chilli and coriander seeds and fry for 1 min more. Set aside to cool.
• Steam the spinach in a steamer until wilted, then leave until cool enough to handle. Place in a double layer of muslin or a clean j-cloth and squeeze out any excess liquid. Roughly chop and add to the cooled onion mixture.
• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the pumpkin and simmer for 15-18 mins, or until a cutlery knife can easily be inserted into the pumpkin. Drain and steam dry, then roughly mash and add to the spinach mixture. Leave to cool. Stir the feta, flour, dill and eggs through the cooled mixture and season to taste.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush some of the melted butter on the inside of a 20cm square tin. Add three sheets of the filo, brushing a little melted butter between each layer. Spoon in the filling and layer and scrunch over the rest of the pastry. Brush the top with any remaining butter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake for 35-40 mins or until deep golden brown. Serve with a fresh green salad.

CHICKEN, SPINACH AND FETA FILO PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and chicken and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Over a medium heat, add the garlic and then half the spinach. Continue to stir. When that half is wilted, add the second half. Once this is cooked through, place in a colander or sieve over a bowl and allow to cool. Discard any liquid that drains off.
• Once cool, place in a bowl and mix through the eggs, feta and nutmeg and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Pre-heat over to 200C/180C if fan assisted. Melt the butter.
• Take a circular oven-proof dish or springform tin, approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter. Lay one sheet of filo across the dish, so that one side and the base is covered, and the rest hangs over the other side. Brush well with melted butter, then lay another sheet of filo in a similar way, at ninety degrees to the first. Repeat with the other two, so that there's an overhang in each of four directions. This will be used to cover the filling.
• Place the filling in the dish, on top of the pastry. Bring one of the ends of the pastry over the filling. Brush with butter, fold another over and repeat until all four ends are covering the top of the pie. Brush the top with butter and pop in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
• Let sit for 5 minutes before serving, to prevent it breaking up.
