A crispy pie that you can adapt for your needs, add chicken or keep it veggie.

Ingredients

200g bag spinach leaves

175g jar sun-dried tomatoes in oil

100g feta, crumbled

2 eggs

1 cooked chicken breast, shredded

½ 250g pack filo pastry

Method

Put the spinach in a large pan. Pour over 2 tbsp water, then cook until just wilted. Tip into a sieve, leave to cool, then squeeze out any water and roughly chop. Chop the tomatoes and put into a bowl with the spinach, feta, eggs and chicken. Mix well.

Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover with some damp sheets of kitchen paper to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of pastry and brush liberally with some of the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side down in a 22cm loose bottomed cake tin so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush oil on another piece of pastry and place in the tin, just a little further round. Keep placing the pastry pieces in the tin until you have roughly three layers, then spoon over the filling. Pull the sides into the middle and scrunch up to cover the filling. Brush with a little more oil.

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cook the pie for 30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Remove from the cake tin, slice into wedges and serve with salad.
