Spanakopita

 

Ingredients:

12 sheets of pre-made (frozen) phyllo dough, thawed
2 frozen packs (~600g)  frozen spinach leaves, preferably organic
2 small leeks, white and pale green part only, finely sliced
6 large spring onions, white and pale green parts only, finely sliced
1/2-3/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
300 g feta cheese
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more for oiling the pan and phyllo
Salt and black pepper to taste

Method:

Preheat the oven to 375 F

–for the filling–

Rinse/defrost the spinach in a colander under warm water. Squeeze well to remove all excess water and place into a large bowl.

Add the olive oil, leeks, spring onions, dill and feta cheese– mix to combine (best to mix with your hands!)

–to prepare the spanikopita for baking–

Coat a 13×9 inch pan lightly with olive oil

Place the 1st sheet of phyllo dough in the pan and brush the top with olive oil using a pastry brush

Continue this process with 5 more sheets of phyllo– brushing with olive oil after each layer

Now, add the filling, spread evenly. Then, add the remaining 6 layers of phyllo dough, brushing with olive oil after each layer

Lightly score the top 3-4 layers of phyllo with a knife

Bake for ~45 minutes, uncovered, until the phyllo dough is golden brown and flaky

Cut into individual squares and enjoy!

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
