SPANAKOPITA ROLL

Steps:

• When working with phyllo pastry it is important to keep it covered with a damp towel, so that it doesn't dry out.
• That being said, we can begin.
• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• Line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
• Prepare filling:.
• Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan.
• Sauté garlic, onion and mushrooms over medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
• Add spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Sauté spinach mixture for 2-3 minutes, and then add dill and stir to combine.
• Transfer spinach mixture to a mixing bowl, and add lemon juice, feta and eggs.
• Mix well.
• Make spanakopita roll:.
• Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on parchment paper lined cookie sheet, and brush with butter.
• Repeat with each remaining sheet.
• Place filling in a log shape near one edge of the pastry, and fold sides over (like what you would do for egg rolls or burritos).

SPANAKOPITA EGGROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, blend the spinach, onions, feta cheese, dill, salt and pepper, mixing well and crumbling the feta during the process.
• To build the rolls, in the center portion of each wrapper, add a tablespoon of filling. Then trace the cornstarch paste around the edges of the wrapper. To seal, fold the bottom tip over the filling, and then bring the left and right sides into the center. To finish, simply roll to bring the top until the roll is closed.
• Drop the spanakopita rolls into the fryer. Lower them slowly into the oil so they set. Once crisp, after about 2 minutes, remove from the fryer. Remember they will continue to cook two shades darker. Put on paper towels to absorb the grease.
• Season the eggrolls and serve with tzatziki sauce, aioli or other sauce.

SPRING GREENS SPANAKOPITA

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, tip in the greens and cook for 1 min, then drain and leave in the colander to cool a little.
• Melt 1 tbsp butter with the oil in a large pan. Add the leeks and a big pinch of salt, then stir over a medium heat until softened, about 8 mins. Add the garlic and cook for another min, then remove from the heat, tip into a large bowl and leave to cool.
• Squeeze as much water out of the greens as you can; if you don't mind getting a tea towel dirty, the best way to do this is to pile them onto the clean towel, gather the corners and squeeze. Add the greens to the pan with the leeks, then stir in the herbs, nutmeg, cheeses, eggs, zest and seasoning. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• You'll need a 23cm springform cake tin to assemble the tart in. Melt the remaining butter in a pan or the microwave and use some of it to grease the tin. Now you're ready to work with the filo. Have a clean tea towel to hand to keep the sheets covered as you work (it can dry out very quickly). Layer the sheets of filo in the tin, brushing each one really well with butter and leaving plenty of pastry hanging over the edge, to close the top with once filled. Scatter the sesame seeds between each layer of pastry as you go. Save a few sheets for the top. Once the tin is lined, fill with the greens mixture. Scrunch a few more sheets of buttery pastry on top and fold in the overhanging sheets to close the tart. Scatter any remaining sesame seeds on top and drizzle over the remaining butter.
• Bake for 40-45 mins until deep golden brown (cover with foil if it starts to brown too much). Remove from the tin as soon as you can to help keep the pastry crisp. Serve warm or cold.
