Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 large bunch spinach, trimmed, roughly shredded
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
• 250g fresh ricotta
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill leaves
• 75g feta, crumbled
• 12 sheets filo pastry
• 60g butter, melted

Method

1. Heat oil in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion. Cook and stir for 3 minutes or until softened. Add garlic. Cook and stir for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add spinach. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until wilted. Transfer mixture to a colander. Leave to cool.
2. Preheat oven to 180C. Add cooled spinach mixture, lemon rind, ricotta, egg, dill and feta to a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper.
3. Place a sheet of filo on a clean, flat surface. Brush over with butter. Add another sheet of filo on top. Continue layering with remaining filo. Spoon spinach mixture along 1 long side of filo and leave a 3cm border. Fold in short ends.
4. Carefully roll up filo to enclose filling. Transfer to a greased baking tray. Brush with butter. Season.
5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until pastry is golden and filling is heated through. Stand to cool for 5 minutes. Serve.
